Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
According to a report from transfershe is one of the options on Mikel Arteta’s transfer wish list ahead of the January transfer window.
However, Brighton are not ready to sell the 23-year-old playmaker mid-season, and will only listen to offers in the summer.
The Gunners could definitely use midfield reinforcements at the moment and the Argentina international could prove to be a quality addition in the long run. Mac Allister has been a key player for Brighton since he joined the club and was also a standout for Argentina at the World Cup.
The 23-year-old was a key player for the South American giants who won the World Cup in Qatar last week.
The Transfers report adds that the player is likely to cost a prize after his World Cup performances. It will be interesting to see if the Gunners are willing to break the bank to secure his services.
