Brighton v Brentford Football 06 Dec
Fabrizio Romano shares what he’s been told about Evan Ferguson amid Arsenal and Spurs links
Evan Ferguson was seen as one of the hottest young properties in football 12 months ago.
The Irishman was banging in the goals for Brighton, including a hat trick against Newcastle, and he was being linked with moves to clubs such as Tottenham and Arsenal.
Indeed, Arsenal were keen on Ferguson for quite some time, as were Tottenham.
However, Ferguson is nearing on a year since his last Premier League goal, while he’s rarely even starting for Brighton these days.
Speaking on The Debrief, Fabrizio Romano has been discussing Ferguson’s current situation, and while Romano says that Ferguson’s stock has dropped recently, he’s still rated highly within the game and still on the transfer shortlist of many top clubs.
Evan Ferguson is rated highly
Romano shared what he knows about Ferguson.
“Of course (his stock has dropped), when you don’t play regularly and don’t score regularly, it’s not the same feeling we have about a player like Gyokeres who is scoring every week. It’s a different feeling,” Romano said.
“What I am hearing in the industry is that he’s still very much appreciated, he’s still highly rated, they know how good his potential is, at Brighton it is difficult because they have so many quality players, they love to rotate, it’s a different concept.
“The player is still appreciated in the market, and I still think he’s in the list of big clubs around Europe when it comes to a number nine. I can guarantee he’s still in the list of several clubs for the next years.”
