Liverpool are hoping to complete the signing of Alexis Mac Allister ‘as fast as they possibly can’ and repeat their previous trick of getting a major piece of transfer business done early. That’s according to Ben Jacobs, who was speaking to regarding the Reds’ ongoing pursuit of the Brighton midfielder.

The journalist said: “The only twist until it’s signed could be a late move from Chelsea, but first of all, Pochettino actually has to come in and start before things like that could move. “We wait and see on that one, but Mac Allister has always said that he wants to go early.



Liverpool themselves want to do their business early. “They always do that; they always try and window plan and make progress to the point where they don’t drag things out if at all possible and much like when they signed Cody Gakpo and it was announced early, it wouldn’t remotely surprise me if Liverpool do exactly the same for Alexis Mac Allister and try to get him in as fast as they possibly can.”



Jacobs sounds confident that Mac Allister could soon be a Liverpool player, and clinching the deal swiftly would have satisfying echoes of the early winter swoop for Gakpo.
