Arsenal has once again shown interest in Evan Ferguson as the young striker continues to develop at Brighton. The Irish forward, who burst onto the scene as a promising talent, has seen his playing time limited this season, as Brighton’s new manager favours another striker. Despite not having a prolific season so far, Ferguson is still regarded as one of the best young talents in England, with Brighton keen to keep hold of him and protect their asset from being poached by rival clubs.
Arsenal has tracked Ferguson for several years since his emergence and has reignited its interest in the player. The Gunners are in need of a new striker, having been linked with top-tier goalscorers like Alexander Isak, but reports suggest they might opt for a less high-profile option instead. A report from TalkSport reveals that Arsenal is once again focusing on Ferguson as a potential signing, and there is a good chance they may make an approach for him either this month or in the summer.
Ferguson’s early rise as a prodigious talent in the Premier League has generated much excitement, but his development this season has not been as expected. While he remains one of the most exciting young players in England, his lack of progress in the current campaign has raised questions about his readiness for a move to a top club like Arsenal. The Gunners are in need of players who can immediately contribute to their title push, and Ferguson’s current form suggests that he may not be the instant solution they require.
Although Ferguson’s potential is undeniable, Arsenal’s immediate priority is to strengthen the squad with players who can step into the team and deliver right away. The decision to pursue Ferguson will likely depend on how Arsenal views his development and whether they believe he can make an immediate impact in their attacking options. For now, the focus remains on securing reinforcements who can help the team challenge for major honours this season.
not the £100m big name of Osimhen or Gyrokeres
or £150m Isak
but just like all the big clubs in Europe forget Osimhen and Gyrokeres
Isak is the striker that raises the ceiling for this Arsenal squad
unattainable in January
so a loan move for Fergusson perhaps the only realistic ‘striker’ option in January
personally a left winger (e.g. Williams) or creative midfielder (e.g. Olmo) preferable in January (Isak not happening)
We cant loan anyone, we are at our limit.
oh OK, that’s unfortunate
well if Isak really is the summer target then no point shelling millions January
and that’s the thing, Arsenal are not going to have two £100m strikers on the books, so if Isak is the one then fans can forget any incoming striker in January
He’s only completed 90 minutes once this season. Who knows if he is even fit. Definitely not fit enough to help with a flailing title charge. We don’t need potential right now, we need a guaranteed goal threat.
Team News and Ticks are saying that Cunha’s the guy. He can play multiple positions and has ten goals this season so he sounds useful but he is not the top quality to take us up to another level That said how likely are we to sign a worldy in January
