Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp talks about the signing of Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister
Following the successful signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp spoke about the transfer and his excitement to see the Argentine international join the Reds ahead of what is a very promising season for the youngsters at the club.
Following a good few months of negotiation with Brighton and Hove Albion, the Reds successfully managed to activate the release clause for Alexis Mac Allister for £35m, and now, he is officially, the Reds’ new #10.
In a very successful season for Brighton, in 44 appearances across all competitions, he scored 12 goals and had three assists as well. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has expressed his sheer delight at securing the services of the Argentine midfielder, a player he believes brings immense talent and versatility to the squad.
Here is what the gaffer had to say to the club’s official website on Mac Allister finally donning the Reds’ jersey:
“We are adding a very talented, very smart, very technically skilled boy to our squad and this is super news, really it is.”
“I do not think the football world needs me to say too much about Alexis’ qualities because they are already pretty well known but it is clear that he is someone who can play in a number of positions in the midfield and is an all-rounder, I would say. He is calm and composed and someone with proper game intelligence.”
Mac Allister is a Red
From witnessing his initial foray into the Premier League as a young player to witnessing him develop into a World Cup-winning man, Klopp has closely followed Mac Allister’s journey. The Argentine’s growth and accomplishments have only solidified his reputation as a highly promising talent.
The signing of Mac Allister represents a significant coup for Liverpool, further bolstering their midfield options. With his technical skills, intelligence, and adaptability, the Argentine adds quality to a struggling Liverpool midfield which certainly cried out for a player of his calibre.
Klopp’s emphasis on nurturing and developing young talents aligns perfectly with Mac Allister’s potential, ensuring that he will surely continue to flourish under the manager’s guidance.
As Liverpool looks to reclaim their dominance in English and European football, the acquisition of Mac Allister marks a positive step towards achieving that goal.
