Evan Ferguson transfer latest: Man City plan, Chelsea 'favourites', Arsenal move, Spurs claim
Brighton & Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson has been mooted as a potential transfer target for the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur recently
The likes of Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have all been linked with a move for Brighton & Hove Albion teenager Evan Ferguson in recent times.
The 18-year-old striker became the sixth-youngest player to ever score a hat-trick in the Premier League over the weekend, netting three times during a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United. Ferguson has featured four times for the Seagulls in the English top-flight this term, netting four goals in the process.
The Ireland international doesn't see his contract on the south coast expire until 2028, so Roberto De Zerbi will be in no rush to offload him. So, with that being said, football.london has rounded up everything that's been reported on the talented centre-forward's future at the Amex Stadium.
City plan
Manchester City are keen on Ferguson, according to iNews.
It is claimed that the Citizens, despite already owning superstar striker Erling Haaland, are interested in recruiting the Ireland international to their attacking ranks.
Chelsea 'favourites'
Owen Hargreaves has backed Chelsea to leapfrog the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal in the race to sign Evan Ferguson. Speaking on The Kelly & Wrighty Show following Brighton's win over Newcastle before the international break, he said: "That was against the best defence in the Premier League last season.
