Brighton & Hove Albion star Alexis Mac Allister is one of the players who are getting huge praise from the Argentine media following the World Cup. And in a story from AS, he’s now even linked to an Arsenal move.
It all starts with the fact that there wasn’t so much confidence in the midfielder at the beginning of the tournament, as he even started the first game on the bench. But once the 23-year-old got a place in the team, he never left.
With Mac Allister having several great exhibitions, especially in the final, it’s said the World Cup now ‘consecrates’ him. They recall that he faced a similar situation at Brighton, where he spent a long time on the bench until he got a real chance to prove himself, and is now a star in the Premier League as well.
Following the World Cup success, Mac Allister is considered to be a player who can switch clubs in the near future. AS writes that the midfielder ‘will sooner or later open the doors of the best European teams’, pointing out that Arsenal and Atletico Madrid have already shown interest in signing him.
There aren’t any details to suggest whether Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are already in touch with Brighton for the move, although that’s a signing which starts making sense following what we’ve just seen from the player in such a high-level stage.
