Brighton striker Evan Ferguson has been linked with a move away from the club and the Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on his situation.
According to recent reports from TBR Football, multiple Premier League clubs are monitoring the 20-year-old and Tottenham are among the interested parties.
Tottenham insider John Wenham has now urged the club to get a deal done for the Republic of Ireland international. Although the 20-year-old has not been at his best in recent months, he remains a prodigious talent.
Wenham said on Tottenham News: “People are sleeping on Ferguson; I think he just needs a change of club. For whatever reason, it isn’t working at Brighton. However, he is still an unbelievable player.
“It was only 18 months ago that Tottenham were quoted £100million for Ferguson after Harry Kane left the club. Therefore, I hope that we can be the ones to sign him and if there is an option to buy included, and he does well, it would be a no brainer.”
Tottenham were linked with the player 18 months ago and they were quoted a fee of around £100 million. However, the striker’s stock is low right now, and this could be a good opportunity for the North London club to swoop in and secure his signature. He could be a long-term addition for them, and Tottenham could nurture him into a future star.
The technically gifted attacker has shown that he is more than just a goalscorer and he could develop into a reliable Premier League forward with the right guidance. Ferguson has 17 goals in 79 appearances for Brighton so far.
The opportunity to join a big club like Tottenham could be exciting for him, and he is likely to be tempted if there is an official proposal on the table.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat the competition and secure his services in the weeks.
