Arsenal has shown keen interest in Brighton youngster Evan Ferguson, who has been in impressive form in the Premier League this season, reports Football Insider. The young talent is part of Brighton’s notable player development success and has made a significant impact since his breakthrough.
Ferguson’s standout performances have caught the attention of several clubs, with Arsenal among those keenly monitoring his development. Known for their focus on acquiring top young talents in England, Arsenal, led by manager Mikel Arteta, sees potential in Ferguson and is considering him as a prospect for the future.
The teenage attacker has been regarded as a player with the potential to become a world-class Premier League striker, attracting interest from multiple clubs as he continues to make strides in his career.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Ferguson has been an amazing player for Brighton and certainly can become a much bigger player if he stays focused and reaches his full potential.
He may not get enough game time for us right now, but that could easily change if no other striker is brought in.
However, if we let him spend another campaign at Brighton and he develops fast, we could sign him at the end of next season.

He hasn’t been showing earlier spark that caught many eyes…let leave this overhyped UK players…no apology where any …Arsenal look elsewhere
Don’t they want 100mill for him? He’s not worth half that.
Ferguson would be an excellent signing but I think Brighton are demanding a high fee for him. If we could bring down the price through negotiationn and sell Nketiah than I think the purchase of Ferguson is possible. He is highly talented and has a very high potential to succeed.
like the player, could develop in to a good striker
but then again might not
there have been plenty of flash in the pan young strikers who never quite live up to early promise
and at more than £100m (Brighton emboldened by the crazy money of last summer – and who can blame them) quite frankly far too big a gamble
and it is the inflated price tag and lack of ’30 goal a season’ performing strikers that make me incresingly think Edu et al will not actually go for one this summer
or look internally with Biereth and young Danish kid in fine form, Biereth probably the closer of the two
the other thing is our system probably doesn’t suit an out-and-out striker, or should I say an out-and-out striker doesn’t suit our system of intense high pressing, our out-of-possession game is our strength right now (Man C, Liverpool and Newcastle games at home in the league this season) and I am concerned an out-and-out striker may detract from the box midfield effectiveness
it could be a traditional out-and-out striker is our Plan B for the XI behind the ball low press
perhaps another reason to look at Biereth as a low cost alternative for someone who might spend most of their time on the bench, only coming on when a deadlock needs breaking – don’t want to spend >£100m for a Plan B bench warmer on spectacularly high wages
Biereth is our own teenage sensation at a sensation £nil price tag
