Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Brighton & Hove Albion are prepared to let striker Evan Ferguson leave on loan before the January transfer window closes. Arsenal are among the clubs closely monitoring the highly-rated Irish forward, with the Gunners considering a move to bolster their attacking options.
The 20-year-old, regarded as one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents, has struggled for form this season, scoring just one goal in 14 appearances. His lone strike came in October against Wolves, and he has yet to find the net since November 2023. Despite his recent dip, Ferguson’s potential remains highly sought after, with several top-flight clubs keeping tabs on his situation.
Ferguson burst onto the scene during the 2022-23 season, scoring six goals in 19 Premier League appearances. He matched that tally last season in 27 matches, showcasing his ability to compete at the highest level. However, an ankle injury earlier this campaign has hampered his progress, limiting his impact on the pitch.
West Ham and Fulham are also reportedly monitoring the striker’s availability, though Brighton are believed to prefer a permanent deal or a loan with an obligation to buy.
