Alexander-Arnold is one of three high-profile Liverpool players out of contract at the end of the season, with captain Virgil van Dijk and forward Mohamed Salah yet to sign new deals at the club. Salah said in January that an agreement with the club was "far away", while Van Dijk said in March that he had "no idea" if he would sign an extension. "It's a situation that is there for eight or nine months now," said Slot. "These three players have performed so well under these circumstances. So no it does not affect me at all." Liverpool, who are 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League with nine games remaining, face Everton at Anfield on Wednesday (20:00 BST).
