Coming out of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Argentina and Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister will likely be a new name added to the transfer wish list of many top European clubs. Mac Allister was one of his country's best performers as they soared to World Cup glory after beating France in a dramatic penalty shootout in Sunday's final in Qatar.
Mac Allister was on the score sheet in the group stage win against Poland and provided a perfectly-weighted pass for Angel Di Maria to double Argentina's lead in the final after Lionel Messi had opened the scoring from the penalty spot.
Prior to the tournament commencing, Brighton were receiving a lot of interest regarding a number of their players, most notably Leandro Trossard and Moises Caicedo. Following Mac Allister's starring role, he could be the latest Seagulls player on the transfer wish lists of many top European clubs, but CEO Paul Barber has revealed that the club were "working on a new contract for Alexis in the build-up to the World Cup".
