Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois has expressed his willingness to assist Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen as they settle into their new surroundings in the Spanish capital.
England defender Alexander-Arnold recently joined the club for £8m from Liverpool, while Spanish international Huijsen signed from Bournemouth for a fee believed to be in the region of £50m.
Both players met their new teammates earlier this month after benefiting from a unique transfer window that was designed to assist teams competing in the revamped FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
And speaking after Real Madrid’s opening game of the tournament against Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal, the former Chelsea goalkeeper admitted he hasn’t offered Alexander-Arnold or Huijsen any specific advice, but he is “always available” should the need arise.
“Obviously (Alexander-Arnold) he’s a very good friend of Jude (Bellingham), so I’m sure that Jude already has spoken enough with him,” he told Flashscore.
“But obviously I said that I’m always available when he needs something, and same with Dean, and so just try to help the new guys settle in well and straight away.
