Alexis Mac Allister is looking a different player with Albion - according to one of his biggest fans.

The Argentina international hopes to get more time to shine when West Brom visit the Amex on Monday (5.30pm, Sky PPV).

His family in Buenos Aires will be following what is a lunchtime game for them – after celebrating his first Premier League goal style during the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.

Francis Mac Allister, the Albion ace’s elder brother who plays for Argentinos Juniors, said: “We are starting to see an Alexis who is more adapted to English football and to the city of Brighton.

“I can see a few differences. More than anything he is looking more dynamic in his play, he has got more of a physical side to his game.

“He has told me he is much better adapted now and he feels comfortable on the pitch.”

Francis believes time spent with the star-studded Argentina national squad as well as goals scored in Carabao Cup ties have done wonders for his brother.

He added: “All that and then the goal on Sunday make you feel confident that Ale will have a great season and keep progressing.

“It was Mothers Day on Sunday and all the family were here together, just hoping he would get on the pitch in your Clasico against Crystal Palace.

“When he scored, there was an enormous cheer and lots of hugs – and not much worrying about the Covid protocols!”

Alexis dedicated the goal to his mum.
