Arsenal told to sign Graham Potter favourite as Edu looks to keep Mikel Arteta transfer promise

Arsenal have been told to complete the signing of Graham Potter favourite Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton. Technical director Edu is said to be in the market for a new attacker as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his frontline.

The 23-year-old, who sees his contract at the Amex Stadium expire in 2023, has featured six times for the Seagulls in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards four goals. Mac Allister's impressive displays have steered Brighton into the top-four, with the Argentina international currently one of the country's most in-form forwards.

He's hardly been linked with a move away from the south coast but, following the abrupt departure of former boss Potter to Chelsea, the Argentine could soon reconsider his options as he attracts interest. And Arsenal have been encouraged to swoop in and bring to Mac Allister to the Emirates Stadium before a bidding war is ignited.
