EPL: Arteta set to sign 2022 World Cup winner for Arsenal

Brighton midfielder, Alexis Mac Allister could be set for a move to Premier League rivals, Arsenal next year.

Mac Allister emerged as one of the stars of the 2022 World Cup, helping Argentina win the trophy for the first time in 36 years,

Brighton may now have a battle on their hands to keep the 23-year-old.

The midfielder is under contract until June 2025 with the Seagulls, but they might want to extend that deal now.

AS reports that Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, is a fan of Mac Allister.

The Gunners are ready to battle Atletico Madrid to sign the playmaker, potentially in January, although a hefty price tag is to be expected.
