Brighton is bracing itself for a serious battle to keep Alexis Mac Allister after his stunning performance for Argentina at the World Cup, as he is now one of the top midfielders in the world.
The Brighton man was superb throughout the competition and provided an impressive assist in the final as Argentina won the competition via penalties, and he is now highly sought-after.
Matchplug understands Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal all want to add him to their squad, and they are not the only sides interested in a move for the Argentinian.
Juventus and Inter Milan have also been impressed with his performances, and they are interested in taking him to Serie A next month.
However, Brighton would prefer to keep him in their squad for the rest of this season and consider moving him on when the term finishes as they bid to continue their fine campaign.
