Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea are all interested in signing Brighton & Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson. Fichajes.net reports that Arsenal has identified Ferguson as a top offensive target to provide competition to starting striker Gabriel Jesus. However, Manchester United and Chelsea are also in the mix, with the Red Devils reportedly prepared to spend £48 million to sign Ferguson ahead of the upcoming 2024-25 season.
Ferguson, 19, has been a vital member of Brighton’s squad, scoring 15 goals and providing four assists in 2064 minutes of action. He has also had a good start to the 2023-24 season, netting five times in seven Premier League starts, including a hattrick in a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United in September.
In addition, there are reports that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is being pursued by Chelsea and Arsenal. Famed reporter Nizaar Kinsella shared that Osimhen would prefer a permanent move to Chelsea in the coming months, despite interest from other clubs like Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, and Real Madrid.
Osimhen, 24, has reportedly been linked with a transfer away from Napoli due to a recent controversy over TikTok videos. He had an outstanding past season, scoring 31 goals and providing five assists in 39 matches for Napoli.
