Brighton midfielder Alexis ‘very calm’ amid Liverpool bid rumours

Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister says he’s staying calm amid talk of an imminent move to Liverpool.

The Reds are said to be close to agreeing a pound;60m deal with Brighton for the Argentina international.

He told Infobae: “I am very calm because I also have the possibility of being in a club like Brighton that accompanied me at all times and in which I really enjoy being.

“If I do not have to leave the club I will continue to be very happy there, but I am aware that there are possibilities (to move) and if a good offer arrives for the club and for me we will evaluate it.

“I have no doubts that (the Premier League) is the best league to play in and that is why I am aware that I would like my next club to be in the Premier. I really enjoy being there.”

Mac Allister added: “The objective is to continue improving as a person, as a player, to win more titles. I think this is my short-term objective and it will always be, because I will always be the same person and I will want to be a little better than the day before, so I focus a lot on that.

“I’m not going to complain, I’m 24 years old, I’m a world champion, I play in one of the best leagues in the world and I feel that my career is growing, but I still have my feet on the ground and I really want to improve, becoming a better person and better player every day. We’ll see what the future brings.”
