Arsenal and other clubs may have to see off competition from Manchester City if they hope to sign Evan Ferguson next summer. This is with Pep Guardiola’s side now eyeing the 18-year-old. This comes as a potential partner or replacement for Erling Haaland.
That is according to a report from I News. It notes that the Premier League champions are amongst a host of clubs. They are monitoring the Brighton star following his outstanding start to the campaign this year.
Manchester City could be unstoppable with the additional of Evan Ferguson
Evan Ferguson
Ferguson has made a sensational start to life in the Brighton and Hove Albion first-team. And given the club’s track record for uncovering gems. Now there is every reason to think that the teenager will reach the heights that many expect for him to reach.
If there was any doubt that Evan Ferguson is a ‘special‘ talent. Then those concerns were put to bed at the weekend. This is with the Republic of Ireland international scoring a hat-trick in the Seagulls’ stunning win over Newcastle United.
The fact that City could pair Ferguson and Haaland is dangerous for oppositions. That probably does not do Arsenal many favours if a race does occur.
Manchester City signing another striker is going to be tricky. If the player feels that they are having to rival Haaland for a place in the team. No-one can really compete with Haaland at the highest level at the moment.
