Liverpool’s signing of Alexis Mac Allister for a fee believed to be in the region of £35m continues to look more and more like a steal with each passing week.
Granted, the Reds were aided by a release clause of sorts inserted into the World Cup winner’s contract when he agreed fresh terms last October. As a result, they were free to wrap up his transfer within two weeks of the Premier League season finishing.
But a look elsewhere around the market and club bosses can certainly be patting themselves on the back at a job well done, having easily found the best value for money when it comes to highly-sought after midfielders.
