BBC pundit Garth Crooks has admitted that he is quite surprised why Liverpool have not tried to complete a transfer for Brighton & Hove Albion’s Alexis Mac Allister.
It was claimed on Saturday that if any club are keen on signing the World Cup winner, they may have to shell out a British record fee of £130 million to get the move over the line.
As Alexis Mac Allister saved Brighton & Hove Albion’s blushed with a last-gasp goal from the spot in their 3-3 draw against Brentford, BBC pundit Garth Crooks questioned why Liverpool have not tried to bid for him.
BBC Garth Crooks why Liverpool haven’t bid for Alexis Mac Allister
The Argentine midfielder is enjoying yet another splendid season at the Amex Arena, showcasing his class, week in, week out.
As pundit Garth Crooks included Alexis Mac Allister in his Team of the Week for BBC, he questioned why Liverpool have not yet tried to sign him.
“Any player who says he enjoys taking penalties will do for me and what a penalty it was. Not only did Alexis Mac Allister send David Raya the wrong way but the spot-kick was so beautifully taken, the Brentford ‘keeper wouldn’t have saved it if he had gone the right way.”
“The Argentina international has been on fire since his triumphant return from the World Cup and provided the Seagulls with real quality in midfield. The big question for Brighton is can they keep him? Quite why a club like Liverpool have not made a serious bid for Mac Allister when their midfield is so short on craft and energy is hard to fathom but you can bet your bottom dollar that one of the big clubs will come in for him before the start of next season.”
Perhaps Liverpool may take BBC pundit Garth Crooks’ advice after all and try to get Alexis Mac Allister over to Anfield next season.
