According to Standard, Chelsea is eyeing Brighton’s Evan Ferguson as a long-term solution for their ɑttɑϲking needs. Despite previously being linked with high-profile and costly ꜱtгikers like Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen, Chelsea sees the 19-year-old Ferguson as a more financially viable option.

Evan Ferguson is rapidly ascending to cult status, displaying an impressive record with four goals in as many games for Brighton this season. His outstanding performances have captured the attention of major clubs, with high-profile teams closely monitoring his progress. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi foresees a continued ascent for Ferguson, suggesting that he could soon contend for the prestigious title of “top scorer in the European arena”.

While priced at £100M, Ferguson does not demand a substantial salary, making him an attractive prospect. Although negotiations with Brighton may pose challenges, Chelsea is considering completing the deal during the 2024 summer transfer window rather than in January.
