World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister has revealed he is in no rush to leave Brighton amid interest from Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Mac Allister played a key role in Argentina’s success in the Qatar 2022 World Cup and has seen his reputation go through the roof.

The midfielder has also been linked with other clubs across Europe with Manchester United, Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona also interested in signing the 24 year old Argentina international.

The 24-year-old has now spoken out about the transfer news surrounding him, and its bad news for anyone who wants to sign him.

“I’m focused on Brighton. I’m really happy here, I enjoy every day,” Mac Allister told Sky Sports.

“They know how grateful I am to this club and I don’t have any rush to leave.

“So yeah, I’m just focused on Brighton and I will do my best tomorrow.”

Mac Allister joined Brighton back in 2019 for £11million and has played 86 times for the Seagulls so far, making 19 goal contributions.

His contract with Brighton runs until 2025 and the club have the option to extend that by another year.
