Arsenal told they must sign ‘brilliant’ World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister with star ripe for major transfer

Marc Mayo21 December 2022

Arsenal have been urged to make a move for Alexis Mac Allister after the “brilliant” Brighton star won the World Cup.

That is according to Emmanuel Petit, the former Gunners midfielder who believes his old club should sign not one but two players from the Seagulls.

Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo also performed well in Qatar and Petit would like to see him join Mac Allister in forming a partnership for years to come at Arsenal.

“I know the links are there with Tielemans at Leicester, who I think is a good player but I’m not sure he is what Arsenal needs,” he told Mega Casino. “I’m a big fan of two players from Brighton: Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo.

“Mac Allister, I said this last season before he won the World Cup, he is a guy that does everything in the midfield. He sets the tempo, carries the ball. Technically, he is very good. He scores goals.

“They would do everything that Arteta wants in midfield. Both of them are young and could form a partnership for years.

“Mac Allister has just won the World Cup. He won the Copa America last year. In terms of his experience and maturity, he played almost every single game at the World Cup and he played really well.

“He is at Brighton! What are Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City doing? Come on! He plays brilliant football.”
