Trent’s Garden Turns Into Padel Playground…
In a saga fit for a soap opera, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s padel court dreams faced a meteor shower of neighborly complaints. The Liverpool right-back, known for darting down the wing, sprinted into legal territory with a £50,000 padel court in his £5.1 million Cheshire mansion’s backyard without asking permission first. But like a true match winner, he finally scored a victory with retrospective planning approval after East Cheshire Council set some rules.
Trent graciously agreed to uproot four towering floodlights—turns out neighbors prefer stars in the sky. To soothe the visual blow, he’s planting trees and bushes galore, transforming the court into a green wonderland. Despite the court’s dimensions sounding like the math problems you skip in exams (130 sqm area, 3m high, but don’t worry, there’s no test at the end), it remains hidden from prying eyes thanks to Mother Nature’s leafy embrace.
It seems, however, that the padel court might soon be collecting dust—not from play but from lack of. With Real Madrid’s interest in snatching Trent up, his stint under the damp northern skies might just be wrapping up. His Liverpool contract lapses in June, potentially sending Trent from court keeper to Galáctico, swapping dreary rain for sunny rivalry.
