World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister says he is “really happy” at Brighton and is in “no rush to leave”.

The midfielder’s profile has soared since being a regular starter during Argentina’s World Cup-winning run, sparking speculation about his future.

Mac Allister, 24, received a round of applause from team-mates and staff yesterday on his return to Brighton. Mac Allister signed for Brighton in January 2019 and signed a contract extension last October until 2025, with Albion having the option to extend it by a year.

His return from Qatar was delayed as he flew back to Argentina to celebrate the nation’s third World Cup win.
