Brighton have announced that the club has extended the contract of Argentine midfielder, Lautaro Martinez Mac Allister until the summer of 2027.

The 24-year-old signed for the Seagulls in January 2019 and has since become one of their most important players on the pitch.

Mac Allister has scored 56 goals and provided 38 assists in his 123 appearances for the club so far.

He was also named in the Premier League Team of the Season last season.

The Argentine international is set to continue at Brighton for another three years, with the club hoping he can continue to be a key player for them in the coming seasons.

The announcement comes after Mac Allister was linked with a move away from the club earlier this year, with reports suggesting that he had rejected a new deal.

However, the club has now confirmed that he will stay put and continue to play for them.

This is great news for the club as they look to build on their success in recent seasons and continue to compete at the highest level.

It is clear that Mac Allister is an important player for the club and his extension until 2027 is a positive development for everyone involved.

Overall, it is good to see that the club is committed to keeping its key players and ensuring that they continue to perform at a high standard.
