Evan Ferguson in huge demand after Brighton put him for sale, with Leverkusen leading the race for his signing.
Evan Ferguson is a wanted man after Brighton revealed that they are ready to listen to offers for the 20-year-old forward.
Although Bournemouth, Everton, Tottenham, and West Ham are in the running for the Brighton striker, Bayer Leverkusen has entered the fight to get him on loan.
This season, Ferguson—who is recuperating from an ankle injury—has dropped in the Amex Stadium hierarchy, and Brighton may decide to allow the Republic of Ireland international to go on loan. Clubs that are interested believe that a long-term agreement is not possible.
Ferguson, considered one of the Premier League’s best young strikers, has a lot of competition, and Leverkusen has expressed interest. If Victor Boniface signs a contract with Al-Nassr of the Saudi Pro League, the German champions might require a forward.
West Ham is considering the 20-year-old after losing Michail Antonio and Niclas Füllkrug to injuries. Ajax’s demands for Brian Brobbey are thought to be high, while their new head coach, Graham Potter, is reportedly dubious about a loan move for André Silva of RB Leipzig. Ferguson made his debut for the first team under Potter, the previous manager of Brighton.
Following the injuries to Evanilson and Enes Unal, Bournemouth is also considering Ferguson. Spurs are without Dominic Solanke for six weeks, and Everton lacks firepower due to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hamstring issue. A groin injury was sustained by Richarlison during Spurs’ loss to Leicester.
Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal have all made high bids for Ferguson in the past. He has only scored once in 14 games this season and has struggled during the last 18 months.
