What a source says about potential Chelsea transfer for Alexis MacAllister

Often transfer rumours are just a case of “join the dots”, but that doesn’t mean they’re not true.

We can see the logic behind Football.London’s piece today which talks about a potential Alexis MacAllister move to Chelsea. The Argentina star plays with Enzo Fernandez for his country, and the two formed a brilliant partnership for the Albiceleste on their way to the World Cup title in Qatar.

For rumours makers, it’s a dream setup – a rising star at a smaller club linked with his international teammate who plays at a top club.

The Football London piece claims there is a snag however – they say a source has told them that Brighton are “adament” they do not want to sell 24 year old MacAllister.

We’re sure they don’t – but that just means they want a high price. We heard the same about Marc Cucurella, and we signed him in the end.

The question really is whether MacAllister is the profile of player Chelsea are missing, or if they’d be better off spending on other parts of the team.
