Alexis Mac Allister is set to become the heart and soul of Liverpool’s midfield

Liverpool’s first signing of the season is the World Cup winning midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. A reported signing fee of just £35m is an absolute bargain for someone like Mac Allister. The 24 year old had a season to remember as he was a crucial part of the World Cup winning Argentina team. He also helped his former club Brighton achieve their first ever European qualification.

Mac Allister’s phenomenal display last season was more than enough to attract interest from Liverpool. Registering 10 goals and 2 assists, he was one of the best midfielders in the Premier League last season.

The new Liverpool no.10 possess the kind of qualities that you find in world class midfielders. Strong playmaking ability, incredible vision, a great carrier of the ball and a good presser, it clearly looks like he is the solution for the Liverpool’s midfield problems.

What could be Mac Allister’s role at Liverpool?

With qualities that Mac Allister possess, it looks like he is going to have flexible role at Liverpool. We could have expected him to play more as a playmaker, creating chances and build up play. However, a few tweaks in Liverpool’s playing style, which saw Trent Alexander Arnold play in an inverted role, has clearly improved Liverpool’s as well as Trent’s performances by a great margin. It looks like the way to go for Klopp and Liverpool.
