“But it’s far clean that he’s a person who can play in a number of positions within the midfield and is an all-rounder, I could say. He is calm and composed and a person with proper sport intelligence.”
Mac Allister, who made 112 appearances for Brighton, has performed 16 times for Argentina, inclusive of within the World Cup final victory in opposition to France in December.
“Since I gained the World Cup, I said that I want to win greater trophies and I suppose that this club will help me to do this,” he stated.
