Manchester City Among Premier League Clubs Eyeing Brighton Striker Evan Ferguson

“Manchester City’s Ambitious Plan to Pair Erling Haaland and Evan Ferguson Strikes Fear into Premier League Rivals”

Manchester City, known for their attacking prowess, are reportedly considering a move to acquire Brighton forward Evan Ferguson. The prospect of having Ferguson alongside the prolific Erling Haaland in their lineup has sent shivers down the spines of Premier League opponents.

City secured the services of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund last summer, making a significant impact in his debut season by helping the club clinch the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup. Haaland’s remarkable goal-scoring record, with 52 goals across all competitions, included a record-breaking 36 Premier League goals in a single season. In the current campaign, the 23-year-old has already netted six times in just four games.

According to reports, Manchester City is one of several top clubs closely monitoring the progress of Evan Ferguson. The 18-year-old striker recently made headlines by scoring his first senior hat-trick as Brighton defeated Newcastle 3-1. It is speculated that City might have both Haaland and Ferguson as part of their squad in the coming years.

Despite his young age, Ferguson enjoyed a breakout season with Brighton last year, featuring in 28 matches across various competitions and scoring 11 goals. He continued his scoring form this season, opening his account against Luton on the opening weekend and starting in Brighton’s last two matches.

His standout performance against Newcastle left defenders in a difficult position, with praise from Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi, who believes Ferguson has the potential to become one of Europe’s top scorers.

Roberto De Zerbi acknowledged the possibility of Brighton losing players to other clubs, stating that it’s common for Brighton to sell players but crucial to find suitable replacements.
