Mac Allister has been enjoying a strong season at Brighton having scored five Premier League goals this term.
Now, following his seriously impressive World Cup campaign he has several top clubs interested in him.
Top clubs keen on Mac Allister
Gastón Edul has revealed: “There are three teams interested in Alexis Mac Allister: Chelsea, Arsenal and Atlético de Madrid (in that order).
“It is difficult for him to leave Brighton in this transfer market.
“He can only leave if the club wants to sell him and its intention is to retain him.
“His departure may take place in June.”
