Contact initiated to sign Brighton player in January – ‘Sensational’ Manchester United deal may be likelier for summer

Evan Ferguson has been tipped to leave Brighton & Hove Albion in the January transfer window, and could prove to be an alternative target to Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee.

The striker is struggling to fulfil his potential at The Amex due to injuries and that is why he’s played only 105 minutes of Premier League football this season, scoring one goal. He has only one league start under his belt in this campaign.

As the 20-year-old is associated with an exit from Brighton, there is now interest from Italy.

Corriere dello Sport today state that Juventus see the player as a valid target for January and while he is liked by multiple Premier League clubs, the Old Lady have initiated contact to seek information about the striker’s situation at Brighton.

Ferguson is highly appreciated by Thiago Motta’s side, who want to sign a striker soon. Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee is a name that has been linked with Juve but a ‘sensational’ move is likely to happen only in the summer.

Regardless, the Bianconeri are keeping tabs on the Dutchman’s situation at Manchester United with interest. If there is a chance to sign him in January, the Italian giants will make an attempt.

Interestingly enough, Ferguson’s profile and availability seems more appealing for a winter move.
