Liverpool’s Mac Allister Flourishes as Slot Finds Midfield Gem

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has struck gold with midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who has become an integral part of the team’s success this season. The Argentine international, signed for £35 million in 2023, has seen his market value nearly double to £68 million according to Transfermarkt.

Mac Allister’s versatility and all-around skill set have made him indispensable in Slot’s tactical setup. The 26-year-old ranks among the Premier League’s top midfielders in several key metrics:

• Top 11% for shot-creating actions
• Top 13% for progressive passes
• Top 15% for tackles per 90 minutes

These statistics highlight Mac Allister’s ability to contribute both offensively and defensively. Pundit Joe Cole praised the midfielder as a “superstar” who “can play anywhere” on the pitch.

While other Liverpool players like Cody Gakpo have also improved under Slot’s guidance, Mac Allister’s immediate impact and adaptability stand out. His performances have been crucial in Liverpool’s pursuit of multiple trophies this season.

As the Reds continue to challenge for honors, Mac Allister’s importance to the squad only seems likely to grow. Slot’s ability to maximize the Argentine’s talents has proven to be one of his shrewdest moves since taking charge at Anfield.
