Bayer Leverkusen have joined the race to sign Evan Ferguson on loan but face competition for the Brighton striker from Bournemouth, Everton, Tottenham and West Ham.
Ferguson, who is recovering from an ankle injury, has fallen down the pecking order at the Amex Stadium this season and Brighton will consider letting the Republic of Ireland international leave on loan. Interested clubs are under the impression a permanent deal is not on the table.
