Alexis Mac Allister was expected to join some elite company as his departure from Albion edged closer.

Fans were awaiting confirmation of his expected move to Liverpool yesterday afternoon after reports he had passed his medical.

The Argus has been told the deal will be worth £55 million although that is likely to include add-ons.

Ole.com.ar in South America reported a 60 million Euro deal.

That would make him the fourth most expensive Argentinean ever, behind Enzo Fernandez, Gonzalo Higuain and Angel Di Maria (twice).
