Graeme Souness delivers honest Alexis Mac Allister verdict amid Arsenal and Chelsea interest

Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has been backed by pundit Graeme Souness for a big move after his World Cup heroics that saw Argentina lift the World Cup for a third time.

The Argentinian, who turned 24 today (December 24), was a kingpin for Lionel Scaloni's side in Qatar as they dramatically romped to becoming world champions on penalties after a sensational final against France that ended 3-3 after extra-time.

Prior to the tournament, Mac Allister was starting to turn a corner with Brighton, scoring five goals in 14 Premier League appearances for the Seagulls. Now, with interest from London duo Arsenal and Chelsea, Souness believes it is time for the 24-year-old to move onto bigger things.
