The World Cup performances of Alexis Mac Allister have seen a number of Premier League clubs strike up an interest in the Brighton star ahead of the January transfer window. The Seagulls are certainly not unfamiliar with big clubs coming after their players, with Leandro Trossard and Moises Caicedo also earmarked for eventual departures.
In 2022 it was Marc Cucurella who left for pastures new, joining Chelsea before being later followed by Graham Potter. Given his development in their careers, Trossard and Caicedo have also been linked with joining their former boss at Stamford Bridge.
With Caicedo as the midfielder catching all the headlines in the first stage of the season, Mac Allister mostly went under the radar, perhaps minus one particularly impressive performance against Leicester where the Argentine scored a brace in a 5-2 win.
