Tottenham Target Brighton Star Evan Ferguson In High-Stakes January Transfer Battle

Now, the latest target being linked to Tottenham Hotspur is Brighton & Hove Albion’s talent Evan Ferguson.

Brighton has a young forward who is only 20 years of age, and such a talent possesses great promises, though his season was affected by issues concerning injuries, making him one of the best young strikers in the premier league.

Rumours have emerged proving Spurs are on the lookout for options in the centre forward, especially since Richarlison has had his injury troubles and Solanke remains the club’s only known attacking option.

Ferguson is a hugely dynamic player and an instinctive goal-scorer, which has alerted Tottenham. However, the North London-based club has come out clearly to say that they are not in the market for a ‘Loan In’ deal.

Tottenham Wants To Sign Evan Ferguson On A Permanent Deal

As reported by TEAMtalk, Tottenham will only sign Evan Ferguson if Brighton has put in the clause that the player has to be bought at the end of the loan at option or obligation. This strategy shows that Spurs are against the development of a player.

The player is said to be available, and the Seagulls could let him go on loan with the aim of building match fitness before the start of the season.

However, there is a snag, that is, Tottenham wants a buy-out clause, and this can prove a thorn in the flesh, bearing in mind Ferguson’s high prospects, and Brighton’s loss would be a big blow, bearing in mind he is an important player.

They may be in the race to sign Ferguson but they are not alone in their pursuit. Chelsea, who have always been linked with the player, have considered him a main target for the January transfer.

Also, to West Ham United, Leicester City has been said to have contacted Ferguson’s agents to show interest from other Premier League sides.

Given interest from several clubs, it will take quick work from Tottenham to sign Ferguson. His next move is turning out to be one of the most eagerly anticipated transfer stories of the winter window, as the young star forward continues to be a target in the league.
