Evan Ferguson looks set to leave Brighton & Hove Albion this week, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Romano, who has developed a reputation as the leading journalist for transfer news, said in a post on X in the early hours of Monday morning that the Republic of Ireland striker will leave in the next days. There is genuine interest from several clubs with contact made from teams in the Premier League, Ligue One and Bundesliga according to the Italian transfer correspondent.
The Seagulls’ league rivals Arsenal, Everton, and West Ham have all been linked with a move for the forward over the last few months. Ben Jacobs, a Football Correspondent for Give Me Sport, said that the Gunners are still keeping an eye on him, and that Brighton would right now command a fee of around £45m.
Graham Potter was asked about Ferguson at the start of the month but was respectful and didn’t want to comment on a player that was his. Potter was the manager who gave Ferguson his debut at Brighton, but it was Roberto De Zerbi who he thrived under.
