Liverpool’s Signing of Alexis Mac Allister Praised by Andy Robertson
Liverpool’s signing of Alexis Mac Allister has been praised by teammate Andy Robertson, who believes the midfielder “ticks all the boxes”. Mac Allister joined Liverpool from Brighton in a £35million deal, which could potentially rise to £55m. He has been given the no.10 shirt and is the seventh Argentinian to play for Liverpool.
Mac Allister’s stock has risen considerably during his third full season in Brighton colours, and Robertson is delighted to have him on board. The midfielder is a World Cup winner with Argentina, registering an assist in the final and scoring a crucial goal against Poland.
Replacing Big Characters
Liverpool has lost a couple of big characters within the changing room, and they have already made strides to replace them. Jurgen Klopp looks set to continue a midfield overhaul having secured Mac Allister’s services. Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner have all left the club, and links persist to France U21 duo Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone.
Quality Player
Discussing the signing with talkSPORT, Robertson said, “Alexis is a fantastic player, he’s been at Brighton the last two or three seasons, and anytime he’s played against us, he’s always caused us difficulties. He’s obviously a World Cup winner, which is not easy. He’s a quality player, and I’m sure he’ll fit into our changing room easily.”
Robertson looks forward to playing alongside Mac Allister because he can bring a lot of quality to the squad. Klopp will be hoping that Mac Allister can help Liverpool regain their form after a disappointing season.
