The father of Tottenham Hotspur target Alexis Mac Allister has admitted that his son is ready for a transfer away from Brighton & Hove Albion.
Described as ‘brilliant’ by Lee Dixon in the World Cup semi-final against Croatia, Antonio Conte’s men have been linked with the Argentine’s signature for the longest time.
While there were question marks about whether Tottenham Hotspur target Alexis Mac Allister would be open to a transfer from a flying Brighton & Hove Albion side, his father seems to reckon he would.
Tottenham target Alexis Mac Allister opens up on transfer situation
Spurs are desperate need of creativity in the middle of the park, especially as Rodrigo Bentancur could take time to return to full fitness in the following campaign.
And Mac Allister, who has been branded as ‘[Paul] Pogba 2.0’ by Football Fan Cast certainly has that in abundance.
As the world tries to predict whether Alexis Mac Allister chooses Tottenham out of the many clubs aiming to sign him, his father has at least confirmed that he is prepared to leave Brighton.
“Clubs are starting to call us for Alexis but there are no concrete talks now.”
“We’ll decide together with Brighton, they deserve respect. We will pick the best project, based on the coach too, it’s not about money”, he said, as relayed by Fabrizio Romano.
Unlikely Mac Allister says yes to Spurs
With Antonio Conte looking increasingly likely to leave, no real update about a new manager currently, Harry Kane’s future remaining uncertain and the club’s track record of failing to win silverware, there is no factor that would attract the World Cup winner to a switch.
Alexis Mac Allister and his father are likely to agree to a move to clubs like Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United much before they decide to join Tottenham.
It is simply clear as day.
