It wouldn’t be a transfer window without Chelsea trying to buy a Brighton player and here’s January 2024’s version. Yes, Evan Ferguson, still a teenager, is this year’s model and would cost a Boehly-busting £100m. It seems unlikely, doesn’t it? But in the search for a striker that continues eternally at Chelsea, something of a centre-forward’s graveyard then perhaps the Irishman is the latest candidate. The list of other possible targets include Dusan Vlahovic at Juventus, Viktor Gyokeres at Sporting, Santiago Giménez at Feyenoord, Borja Mayoral at Getafe, Dominic Solanke and Ivan Toney. Phew. Ferguson’s spent a fair bit of time on the Brighton bench of late, with João Pedro banging in the goals for Roberto De Zerbi but his talent is much coveted.
There’s Victor Osimhen, too, but now as Real Madrid are going cold on Kylian Mbappé and his demands, they are now thinking of making a move for the Napoli striker.
