Adam Lallana recently delivered a glowing appraisal of his Brighton & Hove Albion team-mate Alexis Mac Allister, with the Argentine's move to Liverpool now edging closer to completion.
As reported by the ECHO on Monday, Liverpool are hopeful of finalising a deal for the 2022 World Cup winner before he joins up with his international team-mates next week, with talks between Anfield officials and their counterparts on the South Coast having taken place in recent days. It is also believed that the player's agent and representatives recently flew to England to set the seal on a deal to bring Mac Allister to Merseyside.
The expected exit of the 24-year-old will be a blow to Brighton who recently qualified for Europe for the first time in their history after finishing the Premier League season in sixth place. It is also probable that long-time Arsenal and Chelsea target Moises Caicedo leaves the Amex this summer.
