Evan Ferguson has been linked with a move away from Brighton & Hove Albion, with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur keen.
Evan Ferguson has demonstrated his worth in the Premier League and established himself as a vital member of Brighton & Hove Albion. According to a talkSPORT story, the 19-year-old attacker is reportedly worth £100 million and has been connected to teams like Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
In the upcoming months, it will be intriguing to see if teams like Chelsea and Tottenham are willing to pay £100 million for him.Ferguson would be a wise long-term investment for Chelsea, who could use a great striker right now.
In the long run, the young player has the potential to make the investment worthwhile, despite the seemingly high £100 million asking price. It is unclear if Chelsea will want to spend a significant amount of money on another Brighton player in January after recently paying a club record for Brighton’s Moises Caicedo.
Ferguson would likely need Chelsea to guarantee him playing time before he joins the team because he wants to continue improving with regular football.Nicolas Jackson was acquired by the Blues during the summer transfer window. With a few exceptions, though, the Senegalese has not been able to live up to the hype. Their first objective should be to sign a good striker in January.
Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, needs to sign a capable long-term replacement for Harry Kane, and the 19-year-old most definitely fits the bill. If he signs with Tottenham, he might solve the team’s goal-scoring problems going forward.Additionally, the 19-year-old might flourish in their attacking system.
Daniel Levy is not likely to approve a £100 million deal for the striker, though. It is reasonable to believe that in order for the trade to proceed, Brighton will need to reduce their demands. However, it’s possible that the high asking price was meant to turn away potential buyers.
Ferguson is currently playing at a high level in the Premier League, and if he joins Tottenham or Chelsea, he might have an immediate effect.The Irish international for the Republic of Ireland scored 10 goals in all competitions the previous year and has five goals in 11 league games this season.
