The latest Evan Ferguson transfer news indicates that Brighton & Hove Albion are willing to loan out the Irish forward in January.
Ferguson, 20, has struggled for game time under new boss Fabian Hurzeler this season. His solitary start in the Premier League came against Newcastle United on GW8.
He has also netted just one goal – coming in the 2-2 home draw with Wolves in October. Overall, Ferguson has just 105 minutes in England’s elite under his belt in 2024/25.
Ferguson finds himself behind Danny Welbeck, Joao Pedro and Georginio Rutter in the pecking order at the Amex Stadium. However, injuries and a dip in form could see Ferguson afforded more starts.
Nonetheless, the Seagulls have been soaring high and recently enjoyed their best ever start to a Premier League campaign. Ferguson, though, has found it increasingly difficult for chances to impress.
As things stand, the South Coast club value Ferguson at £60 million. It wasn’t that long ago that Chelsea and Manchester United were pursuing the Irish international.

Evan Ferguson Transfer News Puts Premier League Clubs On Red Alert
If the latest Evan Ferguson transfer news is to be believed, Brighton can expect an array of calls this January regarding a potential loan move.
The Seagulls will not look to sell Ferguson under any circumstances. Especially after he signed a bumper six-year contract to stay on at the Amex Stadium last November.
Injuries and poor form have hampered Ferguson’s progress but Fabian Hurzeler knows he has one of the finest young talents in the country at his disposal.
A temporary move away from the South Coast could be the perfect remedy to get Ferguson firing on all cylinders again. The likes of Fulham, Leicester and West Ham will likely show an interest.
So too can Newcastle. The Magpies have struggled for goals this season and doubts surround the future of star man Alexander Isak. Ferguson famously hit a hat-trick against the Geordies last season.
Whatever happens between now and the end of January, Brighton can expect a flurry of enquiries to sign Ferguson on a temporary basis.
Hurzeler’s side and possibly Ferguson are back in action on Friday night against Southampton. The best football betting sites in the UK price the Seagulls as 4/9 favourites.
