LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool defender Conor Bradley has signed a long-term contract extension with the Premier League club just weeks after it was confirmed Trent Alexander-Arnold will leave as a free agent.
The 21-year-old right back is seen as a potential replacement for Alexander-Arnold, who is expected to join Real Madrid.
“To sign another contract, I’m very proud and happy to see what the next steps on our journey together will be,” Bradley said in the club's announcement Saturday.
Liverpool did not specify the length of the contract, but it was reported to be four years.
Bradley has impressed since breaking into the first team last season.
Premier League champion Liverpool has also been linked with Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong to help fill the void left by Alexander-Arnold, who won a full set of trophies at the club, including two league titles and the Champions League.
