Alexis Mac Allister gives first-ever Liverpool interview after transfer
After a few months of good speculation, the move is now official as Alexis Mac Allister completes a move from Brighton and Hove Albion and is now Liverpool FC’s new #10. He will now follow the likes of Andriy Voronin, Joe Cole, John Barnes, Luis Garcia, Michael Owen, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane in wearing the iconic jersey at the club,
The announcement came across various official channels after the Reds posted first on the club’s official website. The Reds have successfully started the midfield revamp as Liverpool would hope to get on board more midfielders before the pre-season begins.
The Reds got on board Alexis Mac Allister from the Seagulls for a bargain deal of only £35m as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano via Twitter. Keeping the current inflation rates in the market, the signing surely is an indication of how shrewd and accurate Liverpool are when it comes to doing business.
Speaking to the club’s official website on the move and how the past few months have been for the World Cup winner, here is what he had to say:
“It feels amazing. It’s a dream come true, it’s amazing to be here and I can’t wait to get started. I wanted to be in [from] the first day of pre-season, so it’s good that everything is done. I’m looking forward to meeting my teammates.”
“It was a fantastic year for me – World Cup, what we achieved with Brighton – but now it’s time to think about Liverpool and try to be a better player and a better human being every day.”
“Since I arrived here, I can see how big this club is – the players we have, the staff, everyone. I’m really pleased and looking forward to playing for this club.”
Mac Allister is officially a Red
Last season, Liverpool faced a number of setbacks, including a series of injuries and also, inconsistent performances. This certainly left the team lacking depth and struggling to maintain the same level of dominance in the middle of the park.
Mac Allister’s arrival is set to remedy this situation. His ability to operate in multiple midfield roles, including as an attacking midfielder or in a deeper playmaker role, provides much-needed flexibility to Jurgen Klopp’s squad. With his technical skills and astute passing range, he will contribute greatly to Liverpool’s offensive prowess while also offering a significant presence in the heart of midfield.
The completion of this transfer surely marks the beginning of what promises to be an exciting summer for Liverpool. As they continue their quest for silverware, bolstering their midfield was a top priority.
The signing of Mac Allister sets the stage for further additions to the squad and signals the club’s ambition to regain their dominance in English and European football.
