Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has urged his former club to make a move for Brighton's in-form star Alexis Mac Allister when the transfer window reopens in January.
The Argentine midfielder has been firing on all cylinders so far this season, scoring six goals in just four games for the Seagulls, who are just two points behind leaders Arsenal in fourth. Brighton's impressive start to the campaign has now been disrupted by the departure of manager Graham Potter to Chelsea however, and Petit feels Arsenal transfer chief Edu should be looking to tie up a deal for Mac Allister.
Discussing the Gunners' transfer business over the summer, Petit told Lord Ping : "Not signing [ Liverpool loanee] Arthur Melo isn’t a big miss for Arsenal. But I know they were looking for that link between the midfield and striker.
