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.
