According to reports in British media, Manchester City is reportedly working on a blockbuster with teenage talent Evan Ferguson from Brighton.
As a result of the outstanding start he has had to the new 2023/24 season, a number of teams from the Premier League are keeping a close eye on the 18-year-old.Ferguson went on a scoring rampage against Newcastle last weekend, netting an incredible hat trick to bring his goal tally for this season up to four. His performance was nothing short of explosive.
After Evan Ferguson had a breakout season the previous year, scoring 10 goals across all competitions, there was a renewed interest in this up-and-coming star.This player is being monitored by a number of teams, including Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham, among others.And just recently, Manchester City joined the fray as well.
According to iNews, the team that won the previous season of the Premier League wants to bring Ferguson back into the fold so that he can form a formidable attacking partnership with Erling Haaland, who is a scoring machine.However, in order to get the services of the Irish midfielder, the Etihad Stadium club will undoubtedly have to fork over a significant sum of cash, as Brighton estimates that the player is worth up to 150 million pounds.
The management staff at Ferguson believes that interested teams will have to pay a transfer fee that is more than the record £115 million that was paid by Chelsea for Moises Caicedo when he went to the club. This fee was paid when Caicedo moved from Brighton’s Amex Stadium to the club.
However, given that the summer transfer window for the year 2023 has only just come to an end, it is, of course, far too soon to begin discussing what the future holds for Ferguson.The Irish player still has a lot of time to continue to excel at Brighton; despite losing many key players this season, the squad is still performing quite successfully on the pitch.
