Arsenal told 11-goal target will cost over £70m to sign – star responds to rumours

ARSENAL will have to pay in excess of £70 million if they want to Prise Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton in the summer.

Mac Allister, 24, who has 16 caps for Argentina, has thrived in Brighton’s midfield since arriving on the south coast in 2019, and has developed into one of the most in-demand stars in the English game.

The 24-year-old has scored 11 goals and assisted twice in 34 appearances across all competitions for the Seagulls to help Brighton climb to sixth in the Premier League table.

Sky Sports report that Man Allister will cost comfortably more than £70m this summer if he is to be signed by another club.

But in a transfer blow to all four clubs, Mac Allister, under contract until 2025 with a further year option, admits that he is loving life at high-flying Brighton.

Mac Allister scored the only goal of the game as Brighton beat Manchester United in the Premier League this week – He told Sky Sports: ‘I’ve been here three-and-a-half years. I know what this club gave to me, I’m really grateful and I’m really happy to be here.

‘It’s a fantastic team, like a family, so every time I’m on the pitch I really enjoy being here. ‘It’s easy to play in this team. The way we play is very nice, my team-mates are fantastic.

‘It’s down to them as well. I’m really pleased to play with them and they help me to be a better player every day.’

ARSENAL are still competing for that Premier League title so Mikel Arteta is not really worried about what players are brought to the club at the end of the season.

Mac Allister is a brilliant player that is now ready for that next step and if Arsenal do sign the man – he will be a very good signing for the club.
