Journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Manchester United will "speak" to Alexis Mac Allister over a possible summer transfer.
What's the latest on Alexis Mac Allister and Man United?
The Red Devils still have plenty to play for in what's left of the season as they hope to go far in the Europa League and also finish inside the top for in the Premier League.
Depending on how their campaign ends, they will then assess how much money they can spend, and who exactly they need to spend it on, in the summer market.
It seems as though Mac Allister is one player already on their radar though. Indeed, if the latest rumours are to be believed then Man United will soon talk to the Brighton player regarding a possible move.
Indeed, when speaking on his YouTube Channel, Romano outlined his latest understanding of the situation, with Liverpool also in the mix.
He said “Keep an eye also on Alexis Mac Allister because Man United and Liverpool will speak to the player's side to discuss the potential project.
"But for sure Man United are exploring options in that position, midfield, because they could do something there in the summer."
Will Alexis Mac Allister leave Brighton this summer?
Mac Allister currently is paid just £50k-p/w so he might be more affordable than some players, but with his contract running until 20025 and Liverpool also in the mix, Brighton will have no reason to sell on the cheap.
Romano's update certainly backs up what the father has been saying in the press lately too. Indeed, Carlos Mac Allister told Puro Boca (via bolavip): "Normally the next [transfer window] will find him playing in another institution, we don't know which one. The talks are just beginning in general, but it is most likely that Alexis will already be playing in another team next July."

To be fair, seeing as he's been a vital player for Brighton as they've surpassed all expectations to put themselves in with an outside shot of finishing in the top four, it's not hard to see why Mac Alister has caught the eye.
Indeed, with eight goals and one assist in the Premier League this term, only two players – Solly March and Kaoru Mitoma – have bettered the Argentines' average WhoScored rating of 7.07.
Certainly, one player to keep an eye out for this summer.
Newcastle United are reportedly once again keen on signing Watford sensation, Joao Pedro, having previously been linked with the Brazilian last summer.
What's the latest on Joao Pedro to Newcastle?
According to Football Insider, the Magpies are believed to have 'concrete' interest in the 21-year-old ahead of the summer window, having seemingly been 'closely monitoring' his progress throughout the current campaign.
As the piece also outlines, the northeast side reportedly had a £30m offer rejected for the young forward back in August, with the player subsequently going on to sign a new six-year deal at Vicarage Road.
With it looking unlikely that the Championship side will earn promotion this term, however – with Chris Wilder's men currently six points off the play-offs – Newcastle may have an improved chance of striking a deal this time around.
Would Joao Pedro be a good signing for Newcastle?
The former Fluminense ace has enjoyed another standout campaign in the second tier for the Hornets, having scored ten goals and provided four assists in 32 league outings, emerging as arguably "one of the Championship's best players", according to talent scout Jacek Kulig.
As Kulig also noted, the 6-foot starlet is "capable of playing anywhere along the front line", ensuring that he would prove a wise investment for the St James' Park outfit and a truly useful attacking weapon in a variety of forward positions.
That versatility is just one reason why Pedro could potentially prove something of a long-term upgrade on current Newcastle man, Callum Wilson, with the 31-year-old – who solely operates as a centre-forward – having proved somewhat unreliable in recent years due to his frustrating injury woes.
Watford striker Joao Pedro
While the Englishman has been in red-hot form of late with three goals and an assist in his last three Premier League games, it remains to be seen if he can be a long-term partner to club-record signing, Alexander Isak, with Eddie Howe suggesting following the recent win over Brentford that the duo "probably" can't feature together every week.
Pedro, by contrast, could prove a better partner for Isak due to his ability to comfortably play in a number ten berth or on the flanks, with the emerging gem possessing the creativity to thrive in that free role after creating seven big chances this season and registering 1.3 key passes per game – a far better record than that of Wilson who has created just three big chances and averages only 0.8 key passes per game.
Equally, the Watford man is a potentially more dynamic option as he is a "superb dribbler", according to Kulig, showcased by the fact that he averages 3.9 successful take-ons per 90 – as per FBref – while Wilson has averaged just 0.29 for the same metric.
With young Pedro also providing the benefit of his possible longevity on Tyneside – in contrast to Wilson – and it is easy to see why the signing of the exciting talent could prove a real masterstroke for Howe and co.
Tottenham Hotspur are on the lookout for a new manager to replace Antonio Conte, and they have been rejected by former boss Mauricio Pochettino, according to a report from TyC Sports.
Do Tottenham Hotspur want Mauricio Pochettino?
There have been conflicting reports regarding whether Spurs are keen to bring Pochettino back, with it recently being reported that he is among the frontrunners for the job, alongside former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann.
Journalist Paul Brown has claimed people in the dressing room would "really love" to have the Argentine back, while reporter Ben Jacobs has previously stated chairman Daniel Levy would be "extremely open" to his return.
However, the Daily Star report that Tottenham are no longer interested in the 51-year-old taking over as manager, and a new update indicates that he is eyeing a move elsewhere, and has no intention of returning to his former club.
According to a report from TyC Sports, the former Paris Saint-Germain boss recently rejected the chance to return to Tottenham, while he is also uninterested in taking over at Chelsea, Ajax, and the Brazilian national team. This stance is due to the fact he expects to take over at Real Madrid at the end of the season, at which point Carlo Ancelotti may leave to take up the role of Brazil manager.
Everything is said to be on track for Pochettino to join Real Madrid, as he is said to be the Spanish club's first-choice candidate, ruling out a return to N17.
MauricioPochettino.
Who will Tottenham appoint as manager?
It will be disappointing for many Spurs fans that the Argentine is out of the running, given the "brilliant" manager's previous history with the club, however, there are still a plethora of candidates for the role.
It has now been reported that Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner is interested in the idea of taking over at Tottenham, and he could be a savvy appointment, given that he led the German club to Europa League success last season.
Nagelsmann is another option for the Lilywhites, however they may have missed the opportunity to bring him to north London, as Fabrizio Romano reports Chelsea are considering him to replace Graham Potter.
The quality of manager Spurs can attract is likely to come down to whether they are able to achieve a top-four finish under the stewardship of interim boss Cristian Stellini, currently sitting in fifth place, one point behind Manchester United and Newcastle.
Graham Potter will have kept a close eye on his Chelsea players during the international break to see who is worthy of some more minutes when the Premier League resumes this weekend.
The former Brighton boss has a huge roster of players to choose from at Stamford Bridge, following the influx of new signings under Todd Boehly and it means he always has the option of switching things up with the aim of surging up the table in the final stages of the season.
Chelsea fans will have been pleased to see winger Christian Pulisic star for the USA, in the hope that the former Borussia Dortmund can recover some of his confidence at Stamford Bridge, but it was arguably Noni Madueke who was the star of the international break.
Who was Chelsea's best player during the international break?
Pulisic may well have grabbed a goal and two assists in the USA's 7-1 thrashing of Grenada but considering the standard of the opposition, this is perhaps a less-impressive feat than Madueke's.
The former PSV Eindhoven man came off the bench for England U21s in their crunch match against France U21s and would also contribute a goal and two assists in less than 30 minutes on the pitch.
As per SofaScore, the 21-year-old would earn a phenomenal 9.0/10 rating for his performance in the 4-0 win, registering his goal with his only shot on target, and providing two assists despite playing just six passes in his impressive 24-minute cameo.
Manager Lee Carsley was full of praise for the silky winger following the game, and seemingly urged Potter to use him more often rather than letting his talent go to waste.
He said: “He is exciting, fast, direct, and very versatile but what we have to remember is he is still young.
“He is going to need time, match minutes, the time to work on his game, but he has high potential. Like a lot of the younger players, he just needs an opportunity.
“They need opportunities to show that talent and given a run of games he will be fine.”

Since his move to Chelsea in January, Madueke has been limited to just two starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League, which is perhaps unsurprisingly when you consider the sheer number of wide players that Potter has at his disposal.
However, the former Brighton boss must recognise Madueke's talent and give the £29m signing minutes over the likes of Hakim Ziyech and Pulisic, who don't look to have long-term futures at Stamford Bridge.
Indeed, his performance against France shows that he can be a huge difference-maker when given the opportunity.
Presenter Mark Goldbridge has slammed Manchester United captain Harry Maguire for his attitude, following recent comments made by the Englishman.
What's going on with Harry Maguire?
The 30-year-old has lost his starting place for Man United, with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane the first choice picks under Erik ten Hag, but has retained his starting spot for England under Gareth Southgate.
He recently gave an interview where he claimed that he has nothing left to prove at the top level, and this has sparked outrage amongst United fans, who feel that this mentality, given his performance levels, is not up to scratch.
Speaking on The United Stand (5.30), Goldbridge directed criticism towards Maguire, that he actually has plenty to prove at United, and that the defender's importance to his club is overstated.
"If you're sat there with the mentality that you shouldn't have to prove yourself, what are you on mate? You do have to prove yourself, and maybe this is the reason you're having a problem at Man United," he stated of Maguire.
"You keep coming out with this 'I don't need to prove myself, I'm really influential, I'm really important,' but you're not. You're really not. Varane and Martinez play and you sit on the bench, that's how important you are.
"Whoever you've got around you mate, or whatever is going around in your head, is bad advice. You are not as good as you think you are. I would say it's appalling that you've been at this club for three years, and you're coming out with statements that 'I don't need to prove myself.' Every day at Manchester United you have to prove yourself."
Should Maguire leave Man United?
Erik ten Hag's preferred pairing of Varane and Martinez has meant that Maguire has had to settle for a backup role, but the Dutchman has even picked left-back Luke Shaw ahead of Maguire at times, and this has given a big indication of the pecking order at the club.
Maguire still has two years left to run on his contract, but without regular playing time, his value is only going to decrease. The £190k-per-week defender may be seen as expendable, and if he could attract a big fee, United could reinvest the money into other areas of the pitch.
Despite being captain, Maguire has faced heavy criticism during his time at Old Trafford, and a fresh start elsewhere could be a good move for all parties.
Newcastle United are reportedly eyeing up a potential move for Wolves central midfielder Ruben Neves in the summer.
The Lowdown: Familiar face…
Neves has played Newcastle nine times in his career so far, winning two of them, drawing six and losing just once, which came in Wolves’ 2-1 loss at St. James’ Park last weekend.
Despite the defeat, Neves was a standout performer on the pitch, as he managed a 100% dribble and long ball success, while no other player could match his impressive 97% pass accuracy (SofaScore).
He also scored in the 1-1 draw at Molineux earlier on in the season, and has proved to be a formidable foe for the North East club while he has been playing in the Premier League.
The Latest: Newcastle interest
Co-writing in his latest piece for 90min, transfer expert Graeme Bailey says that the Tynesiders are just one of a number of clubs in the Premier League who have ‘asked to be kept informed’ of Neves’ situation at Wolves, along with both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
Both FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also thought to be ‘watching’ him, but the Wanderers are set to offer him a new long-term contract, with only 16 months left on his current deal.
However, Neves’ agent Jorge Mendes has made it clear to a number of suitors that his client is prepared to leave Molineux in the summer, regardless of any potential offer on the table.
The Verdict: No-brainer
It is a no-brainer for the Magpies to sign a player of Neves’ quality in the summer, should he become available.
His Wolves team-mate Hugo Bueno holds him in high regard, hailing him as an ‘incredible player’ and praising his shooting ability in particular:
“He does those things every day in training, so I wasn’t surprised. I have seen him do that loads of times.
“He has incredible shooting. I am really happy for him for the goal, and for the team because it was a really important goal for us.“He always runs the whole pitch and he’s always there. I don’t know how he does it. He is a key player for us. He works very, very hard to win the ball back and also when we have the ball he can control in the game.“He is an incredible player and hopefully he can give us more things like this in the future.”Indeed, Neves ranks in the 89th percentile for total shots per game of all midfielders in Europe’s top five leagues over the past year, as well as in the top 25% for a number of other key metrics (FBRef).Nonetheless, given his top-flight experience, the Portugal international would be a shrewd buy this summer.
It seems that Everton got away with one massive VAR incident after Michael Keane kicked the back of Ivan Toney’s leg.
The Lowdown: Much-needed win for Everton
Once again, it was a 1-0 home victory which was enough for Everton to pick up a hugely important three points, and perhaps unlikely win given the form Brentford had been on as of late.
The toffees huffed and puffed on Saturday afternoon and managed to keep out an in-form Brentford side thanks to some top-class Jordan Pickford saves and also a goal-line clearance from scorer Dwight McNeil.
However, one thing teams certainly can’t afford to do against Brentford is give away penalties because of Toney’s superb record from the spot and Keane will be very thankful VAR didn’t intervene when he made contact with the striker.
The Latest: VAR ignores a potential penalty
It wasn’t much longer after McNeil handed the hosts a rapid first-half lead that Keane lost his man which allowed Toney to head the ball marginally wide of the far post, although he appeared to have been impeded.
While Toney didn’t appeal for a penalty, the footage certainly looks as though Keane rather clumsily kicked the back of Toney’s leg as he tried desperately to stop the striker from getting a shot on target.
The Verdict: Swings and roundabouts from VAR
It’s rather strange that Toney doesn’t really appeal, though he does look more annoyed at himself for missing the opportunity. Though, it does look as if he’s almost knocked over as he goes for the header with Michael Keane tackling with the back of his legs rather clumsily.
While Everton may well have got away with a big decision from VAR in this incident, Evertonians may be furious that the technology ruled out Demarai Gray’s first-half goal that would’ve doubled the hosts’ lead.
Therefore, it looks as though Everton got both sides of VAR on Saturday afternoon and it seems as though the decisions evened themselves out over the course of the 90 minutes, although that’s not exactly how the technology should be working.
Keane has been handed a lifeline at Everton under Sean Dyche – who know each other from their Burnley days – but if he is to maintain his starting spot alongside James Tarkowski, then he must be more aware of his surroundings in and around the box.
Tottenham Hotspur and Antonio Conte’s time together in north London is now appears to be coming to an end, with the Italian expected to leave at the end of the season, according to reporter Dean Jones.
Will Antonio Conte leave Spurs before the summer?
The 53-year-old is only contracted at Spurs until the end of the current campaign and there are reports suggesting neither party are looking to extend.
Reports are already suggesting names which could potentially succeed Conte with the former manager Mauricio Pochettino a name being touted as a possible option.
Despite the Lilywhites’ struggles in recent weeks, it does seem as if Conte could still see out the remainder of the campaign with just a few months remaining on his deal.
Speaking on the Ranks FC podcast, insider Jones has claimed there is now an expectation within Hotspur Way that Conte will leave the club in the summer:
“I’m told that Antonio Conte, this is his last season, he’s going to wait until the summer, it sounds like. But this is going to be his last season. That’s almost every person around Tottenham is saying that right now. So prepare for the rebuild. How soon it comes, who it is, we’ll have to wait and see.”
Should Spurs sack Conte now?
There is certainly a case to be made for Spurs parting ways with a manager who – according to reports – does not want to remain in the job ahead of next season.
Despite the negativity hanging around the club, Spurs need to clinch a spot in the top four as it will provide them with more room to spend over the summer.
And the results in the Premier League are still proving inconsistent as they have been since the turn of the year.
Next up for Spurs is a huge Champions League game against AC Milan with the north Londoners chasing a one-goal deficit with a spot in the quarter-finals at stake.
It will be interesting to see what happens if Conte – who returns to the sidelines on Wednesday – is unable to turn around the tie in north London.
If Spurs do crash out of the Champions League, there will be no other opportunity for Conte to get his hands on silverware at Tottenham and it will raise the question as to what is his motivation for the remainder of the campaign.
Apart from his own record, the Italian may feel there is very little left at Spurs to get him up for the remaining Premier League games given he is believed to want out of the club.
And that could certainly prove a concerning thought for Daniel Levy and it would be interesting to see if elimination from Europe may just turn the chairman’s hand.
The release of new Premier League kits is always a time of great debate.
Every season, the likes of Adidas, Nike, Hummel, and Umbro release kits on behalf of the 20 Premier League clubs.
Some of them are timeless classics that every fan wants to wear, and some are just truly dreadful, with there being a litany of woeful kits down the years.
You always want your club to be releasing one of the former and there have been a few leaks already that hint at the designs to come.
We’ve taken a look at those, and put together a list of everything we know about the Premier League kits in 2023/24.

The home shirt is almost certain to be gold, but we haven’t seen it yet.
There’s also no information just yet on the away kit.
Ian Abrahams has admitted he’s confident that Arsenal will be able to sign £100 million midfielder Declan Rice.
The Lowdown: Arsenal will look to improve
Considering Arsenal were indeed willing to spend big on Mykhailo Mudryk in January but instead only spent a fraction of that on Leandro Trossard, would suggest that there will be money available in the summer.
Even if Arsenal don’t end up winning the Premier League – which looks rather unlikely now given their lead at the top – they will have Champions League football for the first time since the 2016/17 season, so should be able to attract a higher calibre of player.
Arsenal will know that if they wish to be challenging for the Premier League each and every season then money must be invested this summer and in windows going forward and one area they could look to bolster is midfield given Thomas Partey’s injury woes this season.
The Latest: Rice would cost Arsenal £100 million
While speaking on TalkSPORT, Abrahams admitted he was fairly certain Rice would move to The Emirates this summer, although it will force them to pay a club-record fee for the midfielder.
He said: (0:15) “This is an outstanding player, this is a £100 million footballer who -regardless of what Roy Keane says – his old club would love to sign if Liverpool don’t get Jude Bellingham they’d like to sign.
“I’m pretty certain that clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal, who I think he’ll end up going to, they want to sign as well.”
The Verdict: Huge battle for his signature
It’s no surprise so many clubs are indeed interested in Rice as he is one of the top midfielders in the Premier League and even this term when the Hammers have been poor he ranks inside the top 20 for players tackled across the division, and is also yet to make an error in the league this season which shows how reliable he is (FBRef).
Reports have been swirling around his year about how Rice may well prefer a move to Arsenal, and it’s no surprise given the trajectory they are on under Mikel Arteta, but also because they boast such a young squad, the youngest in the league.
Therefore, Rice would fit in very nicely with what Arenal need for the here and now, but also be able to build around the likes of him and Martin Odegaard in midfield for the future, but his eye-watering price tag is sure to test Arteta and Edu’s resolve when it comes to spending huge as their last big-money signing – Nicolas Pepe – certainly didn’t work out.
