Brighton attacker Alexis Mac Allister has no doubt Argentina teammate Lionel Messi would dominate in the Premier League.

Messi's ability to handle the Premier League's physical demands has been questioned in the past.

But Mac Allister says: "In the Premier League, Messi would also be the best, without a doubt.

"I don't think it would be too difficult for him. The World Cup is the most difficult tournament. And Messi showed how good he is. He showed how important he is to the team.

'In Argentina, we are very grateful to him, we are proud of him. We understand that we became champions thanks to him."
