Arsenal and Chelsea sent major Alexis Mac Allister transfer update amid Brighton decision

Arsenal and Chelsea have been sent a major transfer update regarding Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister. The 24-year-old was one of the standout performers for Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar and helped his nation win the iconic trophy.

Mac Allister's performances for Argentina have sparked speculation over his future at Brighton with the club braced for a flurry of bids for the midfielder in January. The Seagulls star has scored five goals in 14 appearances so far this season but Brighton are in a strong position to negotiate a fee for his exit with his current deal not set to expire until 2025.

The Gunners are in the market for a new midfielder to reinforce Mikel Arteta's options, with Youri Tielemans and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic both also linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium. Chelsea are in need of a new midfielder with both N'Golo Kante and Jorginho facing uncertain futures as they enter the final six months of their respective deals.
