"Player of the season for Liverpool" - Mark Goldbridge says Reds summer signing is 'most underrated player' in the Premier League

English radio presenter Mark Goldbridge has hailed Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister as their 'Premier League player of the season.'

Goldbridge recently took to social media and uploaded a video clip from an interview, where he can be seen praising the likes of Arsenal's Declan Rice, Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister, and Manchester City's Rodri.

The radio presenter stated that the Argentine midfielder, who joined the Merseyside club last summer, has been an important player for Jurgen Klopp's side. He said:

"Alexis Mac Allister from pretty much August, I said, have been pretty impressed with him. He's a focal point, simple pass, tenacious, can create. What a signing he's been."

Mark Goldbridge also spoke about the goalless draw between Manchester City and Liverpool on Sunday, March 31, and lauded the performances of Declan Rice and Rodri. He also talked about Liverpool's 2-1 comeback win over Brighton & Hove Albion at the same weekend, where he gave Mac Allister a fair share of credit.

"When you look at that weekend, (there were) no goals in the Arsenal game, from behind in the Brighton game for Liverpool," he continued. "Those three players are actually the star players of the weekend for me, and what a refreshing change! You know, it's not about the Haaland's and Salah's.

"This season, especially, I think Rice is probably the player of the season for Arsenal, Rodri for Man City, and Mac Allister is probably my player of the season for Liverpool."

This season, Alexis Mac Allister has made 32 appearances for the Reds, where he has bagged five goals and seven assists.

Liverpool are also currently in the top spot in the Premier League with 67 points from 29 games. Next up, they will face Sheffield United on Thursday, April 4.
