Fulham are considering a loan move for Brighton & Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson as Marco Silva eyes attacking reinforcements in January.
According to The Independent, Fulham are set to explore a loan move for Evan Ferguson in January as Marco Silva eyes attacking reinforcements. The Cottagers are eager to push for a European qualification place and could take advantage of the situation of the Brighton & Hove Albion striker and his lack of game time at the Amex.
Fulham have enjoyed a fantastic start to the season, and January could not come too soon for Marco Silva to strengthen his squad. The Portuguese tactician is eager to push for a European place at the end of the season and will want a new attacker in the winter market.
A striker has been mentioned in many reports as a potential incoming for Fulham, and Silva is now keen to explore a move for Evan Ferguson. The Irish striker has struggled for game time at Brighton, where he is still regarded as a huge talent for the future.
Fulham are aware that Brighton & Hove Albion are not interested in selling the 20-year-old attacking sensation. The Seagulls could still open the doors for Ferguson to leave on loan to gain regular game time in the Premier League, which under Fabian Hurzelar has reduced drastically with Danny Welbeck and Joao Pedro ahead in the pecking order.
The report does not state Fulham’s desire to make a bid to sign the striker permanently, as it would need a big sum to test Brighton’s resolve. The Seagulls will consider sanctioning a temporary deal if it suits their agenda, as they might also see Fulham as a direct rival for one of the European places come the end of the season.
Will Brighton allow Ferguson’s move to Fulham?
As things stand, Fulham are ahead of Brighton in the Premier League standings on goal difference, which will be seen as a factor by the Seagulls before entertaining any Ferguson loan bids in January. The 20-year-old attacking sensation does have big interest from elsewhere, with Chelsea reportedly keen, while Manchester United are also considering a future move.
Meanwhile, they can alternatively push for other loan deals with the likes of Leicester City and West Ham keen. Such a move would suit Brighton’s ideas, as they will thus avoid strengthening a direct rival for a European place with one of their most promising attacking talents.
