Chelsea have ‘interest’ in Brighton and Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson and face competition from rivals Manchester United in pursuit of his signature, according to a report by the Daily Star. The 19-year-old is under contract at the AMEX Stadium until June 2029 so his current club are under no pressure to sell him in this window unless an offer that they can’t refuse comes in for his signature.
Ferguson, who is 19-years-old, has a bright future ahead of him in the game. He joined the Seagulls back in 2020 and has since broken into their first-team.
The attacker has made 65 appearances in all competitions and has scored 16 goals, six of which came in the last campaign. Prior to his move to England, he played for St Kevin’s Boy and Bohemians.
Chelsea could see him as someone to bolster their options at the top end of the pitch. They have until the deadline later this month to try and strike a deal ahead of the Red Devils.

Spurs full-back target latest
An exit from Southamton for Spurs-linked Kyle Walker-Peters is ‘still on the cards’ over the coming weeks, as detailed in a report by GiveMeSport. It was first reported back in May by TalkSPORT that a potential return to his former club was a possibility.
Walker-Peters rose up through the academy ranks at Spurs and was a regular for them at various different youth levels. He played 24 times for their first-team before heading out the exit door in 2019.
The full-back has been a key player for the Saints since then and has featured on 157 occasions for them to date. He helped them gain promotion from the Championship last term under Russell Martin but it remains to be seen whether he will be staying put.
Spurs have snapped up striker Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth to bolster their striking options. He has said: "It's a magnificent club, a huge club with ambitions that match mine, so I'm delighted to start and meet all the boys and get started. What excites me most about the club is how ambitious it is. A great manager, great players and I feel like [Spurs] will definitely suit my style of play as well so I can't wait to get started and do my stuff on the pitch."
