Why Alexis Mac Allister signed new Brighton contract amid Arsenal and Chelsea transfer links

Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister has garnered significant transfer interest over the last few months following his role in Argentina's World Cup triumph. Starting every game in Qatar, minus the defeat to Saudi Arabia, Mac Allister shone in midfield grabbing one goal and one assist as his nation reached the pinnacle of international football.

The 24-year-old was given an extended break following the tournament but he is now back in the Brighton team hoping to achieve domestic success alongside his international crown. On Saturday, Brighton were dealt a setback in their European hopes losing in the league for the first time in five games at home to Fulham.

Alongside Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo and Kaoru Mitoma have also impressed this season and will likely have transfer interest in the summer. That situation occurring will not be unnatural for Brighton chief Paul Barber though and he has already explained the club's stance on Mac Allister and others.
