Chelsea is reportedly considering a move for Brighton and Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson as a potential long-term solution to their scoring challenges, according to Evening Standard. Chelsea, in their quest for a consistent goal scorer, has explored options like Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen, both of whom come with significant financial demands.
Ferguson emerges as an appealing alternative for Chelsea, as he is unlikely to command the hefty wages associated with Osimhen. The 19-year-old, highly regarded in the Premier League, has demonstrated his quality over the past year, making him a viable option to lead Chelsea's frontline in the foreseeable future.
Brighton, recognizing Ferguson's potential, is expected to resist letting him go for a nominal fee. The prospect of joining one of the country's premier clubs is enticing for the young striker, and the move could provide him with the regular game time needed for his continued development. Arsenal, under the guidance of manager Mikel Arteta, who has successfully nurtured talents like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, could play a pivotal role in Ferguson's development if he chooses to make the move.
