The duo celebrated their reunion ahead of England's Nations League matches against Greece and Finland, with a special moment for Alexander-Arnold who turned 26 on Monday. A large birthday card awaited at St George's Park, which Bellingham used to set up a playful ambush, hiding behind it for over 20 minutes.
Reflecting on his own birthday experience during Euro 2024, Bellingham shared with the England YouTube channel: "No, I got a cake that was like that big (forms a small circle with his hand) and had a candle in it. Is what it is."
When Alexander-Arnold finally arrived, Bellingham's surprise didn't quite go as planned, but laughter and a warm embrace followed. Bellingham playfully prodded, "How old are you now? " to which Alexander-Arnold quipped: "22."
Their bond is evident whenever they meet for national team duties, with Alexander-Arnold once revealing Bellingham as his best mate in the squad, reports the Mirror.
This news might not sit well with Liverpool supporters, even if it doesn't influence Alexander-Arnold's decision about his future at the club. Like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, he could leave Anfield for free at the end of the season, which would be a significant blow both financially and on the field for the Reds.
Speculation about a move to Real has increased after their first-choice right-back Dani Carvajal sustained an ACL rupture in last weekend's victory over Villarreal. The 32 year old is expected to be sidelined for at least eight months
