The World Cup winner says he's happy at Brighton but interest is growing

Manchester City have joined the list of Premier League sides interested in Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister. The midfielder, who won the World Cup in Qatar with Argentina, has attracted interest from a host of clubs.

City boss Pep Guardiola has even called the Argentine player to talk to him about the project he would have if he joined City, according to TyC Sports.

In addition, Mac Allister himself has stated that "if I have to say a place, I would like my next step to be in the Premier League. But the truth is that I'm very focused on Brighton and enjoying the present."

The midfielder has made a total of 22 appearances in the English top flight this season, scoring six goals and providing one assist. He has been a key player for both Brighton managers this campaign.

It seems that the transfer of the midfielder will be the new 'soap opera' during a summer transfer window that is expected to be very busy in the Premier League.
