Brighton are ready to hand Evan Ferguson a new deal to warn off interest from the likes of Manchester United.
The teenager has enjoyed a breakout campaign at the Amex and the Seagulls want to iron out his long-term future, despite only giving him a professional contract a matter of months ago. Ferguson has bagged seven goals and laid on three assists in his 16 appearances this term.
Brighton are now ready to issue the forward with a new long-term contract that reflects his value, reports The Sun, as they aim to keep the likes of United and their fellow top four rivals at bay. They previously battled with the Seagulls to sign Ferguson when he initially moved over from Bohemians in Ireland two years ago.
