Chelsea Football Club is reportedly considering adding Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister to their ranks as part of the team’s summer shortlist. Mac Allister, who is wanted by many top clubs, is a midfielder who has caught the attention of Chelsea, and the club is said to be interested in acquiring his services.
The move would see him link up with fellow Argentine and Chelsea’s latest acquisition, Enzo Fernandez, who signed on deadline day in a British record deal.
According to a recent report from football.london, Brighton coach Graham Potter would be keen to work with Mac Allister again after their spell together at Brighton.
Mac Allister himself has been open about his desire to move to an elite-level club in the near future. However, the Seagulls are expected to face a tough battle to keep hold of their star midfielder.
The move would not only reunite Mac Allister with Potter, but he would also play alongside Albiceleste team-mate Enzo Fernandez. The youngster, who was the Young Player of the Tournament in Qatar, has started every game since the move.
Mac Allister’s transfer could come in a summer that will represent another mass overhaul in Chelsea’s squad.
In midfield, academy graduate Mason Mount is yet to sign a new deal, with Liverpool and Manchester United reportedly waiting in the wings. Elsewhere in that position, the Blues have earmarked Declan Rice and Romeo Lavia as other potential options, although the latter could be poised for a return to Manchester City.
Furthermore, the situation regarding Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remains unresolved, and the Blues could even face competition for Joao Felix.
As talk of his future rages on, the World Cup-winning midfielder will look to build on his 11 goal involvements for Brighton this campaign – a personal best – when the Seagulls host Brentford in the league on April 1.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will make a move for Mac Allister, but his addition to the team could be a significant boost to the club’s midfield options.
If the move goes ahead, it will be interesting to see how Mac Allister performs alongside his fellow Argentine, Fernandez, and whether he can help Chelsea achieve their goals in the upcoming season.
