The 23-year-old Brighton midfielder had a terrific time in Qatar and played a big role in helping Argentina win the World Cup for the first time in 36 years.

 

He has been a consistent performer for Brighton as well but his stock has risen due to his performances in the World Cup.

 

 

Mac Allister has already been linked with a move to Chelsea where his former Brighton boss Graham Potter is in charge.

 

And it has been claimed that Arsenal and Manchester United are now interested in the midfielder.

 

 

The two Premier League clubs have been monitoring his situation with a view to signing the World Cup-winning midfielder.

 

The 23-year-old still has more than two years left on his contract and Brighton are likely to demand big money if clubs make a move for him.

 

 

However, the Seagulls have a history of not wanting to stand in their players’ way if they want to leave and they get the money they want.
