Kylian Mbappe says he does not have any problem with Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold copying his trademark armfold goal celebration.

Alexander-Arnold brought himself into the conversation after celebrating his goal during the 4-0 thrashing of the Foxes at the King Power Stadium.

Roberto Firmino hit double, James Milner and Trent Alexander-Arnold also scored to give Liverpool three points as they moved 13 points clear on the Premier League log on Boxing day.

But an eye-catching highlight of the game was when Arnold fired into the net and celebrated folding his arms - a gesture peculiar to the PSG star Kylian Mbappe.

The PSG star has now responded to the gesture, describing the Liverpool star as an amazing man.

"Yeah, I saw! I'm proud. This guy is amazing," Mbappe told BBC Sport in a reaction.

The 22-year-old World-Cup winning star had earlier given a nod to Arnold by liking his post on social media.

The Liverpool star, after scoring game, went to Twitter to post the clip of the scene and accompanied it with a caption: "Anything Mbappe can do..." The gesture complemented growing speculation that Mbappe could join Liverpool in the future despite Real Madrid interest.

But Klopp recently claimed that the caliber of French players he would love to sign are too expensive with Mbappe costing around £180million.
