'Not a steal' - Martin Keown gives verdict on Alexis Mac Allister transfer to Liverpool
Premier League-winning defender Martin Keown has tipped Alexis Mac Allister to do well at Liverpool.
The Argentine's proposed move to Anfield edges closer as the ECHO understands that there is hope that the deal for the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder can be concluded before he joins up with Argentina.
Should the formalities be complete, the 24-year-old would become the first summer addition for the Reds as Jurgen Klopp looks to reinforce his midfield options following the departure of three midfielders. Mac Allister has enjoyed a rise to prominence in recent months after winning the World Cup with his nation and securing Europa League football for the Seagulls.

Manchester City had been keeping tabs on the midfielder with Liverpool earmarking the Argentine international after their pursuit of Jude Bellingham was shelved. Roberto De Zerbi conceded that both Mac Allister and midfield partner Moises Caicedo would leave after their season ended with a defeat to Aston Villa.
While contrasting reports continue to surface surrounding the price that the Seagulls could pocket from the move, Keown believes it's another piece of good business from the Reds.

Liverpool remain in top spot as Manchester United miss chance and Man City don't come close
Liverpool supporters could only watch on in discomfort yesterday afternoon as Manchester City and Manchester United went head-to-head in the final of the FA Cup.
Victory for City confirmed their second trophy of the 2022/23 season, with Pep Guardiola's side still looking to complete the treble when facing Inter Milan in the Champions League next weekend.
After claiming two pieces of silverware last term, Jurgen Klopp's side fell short in all competitions this campaign but will have hopes of bouncing back to compete for the biggest prizes next year.
City may well be adding to the collection of trophies they have lifted under Pep Guardiola's reign, though the Sky Blues have half the number of major honours of Liverpool in their history as a club. United are the closest team to catching the Reds in this department and missed an opportunity to add to their tally on Saturday afternoon at Wembley.
Below is a breakdown of major honours won by Liverpool and their main rivals. The Community Shield is not included in this list. Major trophies include: Division One/ Premier League titles, FA Cup, League Cup, European Cup/ Champions League, UEFA Cup/ Europa Cup, Cup Winners' Cup, Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and Intercontinental Cup.
