Jamie Carragher names 'only thing' that should concern Liverpool about Alexis Mac Allister transfer

Jamie Carragher believes 'super talent' Alexis Mac Allister will help Liverpool as he is able to play in every position in midfield.

The Liverpool legend has highlighted how players coming out of Brighton & Hove Albion haven't always been as successful at their new club's.

Mac Allister cost the Reds a reported £35 million - something ex-Liverpool defender Carragher thinks is a 'steal' for a World Cup winner.

Liverpool's new number 10 was Jurgen Klopp's first signing of the summer and is set to be joined by more additions at Anfield.

Carragher told Sky Sports: "Well he’s certainly a good player, whether he’s a good signing we’ll see when the season starts. It looks like he can play every position in midfield - which will help Liverpool. He looks a super talent.

“Brighton are a brilliant team. The only thing I will say is, a lot of players who have come out of Brighton, haven’t replicated the Brighton form in other teams. Is that because they’re part of a special system at Brighton?

“That will be interesting to see. But no, I think it's a great signing considering the price as well. £35 million is a steal for a World Cup winner - someone who has Premier League experience and he’s only 24.”
