Liverpool legend Graeme Souness believes Brighton will struggle to keep hold of Alexis Mac Allister.
Mac Allister has been tipped to leave Brighton after his dazzling performances at the World Cup.
“He's a top-four player and the big guys will be looking at him now and thinking, 'We'll have some of that'. He has proven he can play at the highest level and has already done it in the Premier League," Souness told the Daily Mail.
“There is very little risk attached to this boy. He can create, score and works his socks off - that type of player, they are hard to find.
"At 23, Brighton won't be able to keep him for long and good luck trying to negotiate a new contract."

I have been really happy for Allister, Since it was revealed that lo celso won't be able to make it to the world cup i was praying for Allister to be called for the national duty. He has been playing really well with the club. He was called up, got a chance to play and grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Top player imo. 🔥🔥🔥
