Alexis Mac Allister has been backed to excel at Anfield following his move to Liverpool in the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old midfielder joined Liverpool from Brighton and Hove Albion in June for a fee of $43m (£35m/€41m) after his release clause was triggered. Since his arrival, Liverpool has experienced a string of victories, propelling it to third place in the Premier League. Mac Allister has played a crucial role in this early season success, operating primarily as a makeshift holding midfielder as Jürgen Klopp searches for a solution to fill the void left by Fabinho.
"This is no disrespect, and it’s difficult saying it because he has won the World Cup, but it’s not international football. It’s a different prospect playing week in and week out at Anfield and then away from home.
Mac Allister had a difficult time in Liverpool's comeback win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
