World Cup winner ‘is the dream signing’ – Arsenal fans told

Arsenal target Alexis Mac Allister would be a “dream signing” for a number of clubs, believes journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Mac Allister, who joined Brighton in 2019, was one of the stars of Argentina’s World Cup squad in Qatar, playing in six consecutive games after being left out of their opening defeat to Saudi Arabia.

His performances for his country has led to alot of speculation about his future and where he will end up – with the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all reportedly interested in a possible deal for the player.

Now – amid all the speculation – O’Rourke has opened up and claimed that Mac Allister would be a dream signing for a number of clubs – The journalist told GiveMeSport: “He’d be a dream signing for a number of clubs, Mac Allister, following his performances at the World Cup for Argentina. He was outstanding for them in Qatar.

“Brighton, I’m sure, will be aware of the growing interest in him, but they’re pretty hopeful that he will remain at the club at least until the summer, so I don’t expect any move for him in January.”

Amid all the speculation – Pundit Graeme Souness recently encouraged Arsenal to make a move for the man – told the Daily Mail. ‘I bet there will be no player feeling more confident than Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister. It is very easy to focus on how fabulous Messi was for Argentina, but in the games I covered, Mac Allister was their best player.

‘The ball he played for their second goal in the final, for Angel Di Maria, was sublime. Messi put him away around the corner.

“He took one look, had a couple more touches and never looked again before squaring the most perfect pass for Di Maria to put it past Hugo Lloris. Wonderful.

‘He’s a top-four player and the big guys will be looking at him now and thinking, “We’ll have some of that”. He has proven he can play at the highest level and has already done it in the Premier League.

‘There is very little risk attached to this boy. He can create, score and works his socks off – that type of player, they are hard to find.

‘At 23, Brighton won’t be able to keep him for long and good luck trying to negotiate a new contract.

“I’m just disappointed he’s not playing for Scotland with a name like that!’
