Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi believes it would suit both Brighton and Alexis MacAllister if the World Cup winner remains with the Seagulls until the end of the season.
MacAllister was one of the breakout stars of the World Cup in Qatar as Argentina went all the way and claimed victory over France in a thrilling final.
MacAllister is back in England after a fortnight in his homeland celebrating the win and he can expect to be the subject of increasing speculation over his future after his exploits in Qatar.
