According to reports from Italy, Juventus are considering a move for Brighton’s young striker Evan Ferguson. The 20-year-old Irish international has emerged as a potential loan target for the Bianconeri in the upcoming January transfer window.
According to The Telegraph, Brighton are willing to let Ferguson leave on loan this winter. This development has caught the attention of several clubs, including Juventus, who see the young forward as a promising option to bolster their attacking lineup.
TuttoJuve report that the interest in Ferguson comes as Juventus assess their striking options, particularly in light of concerns surrounding Arkadiusz Milik’s form and fitness. If Milik fails to provide the necessary assurances, Ferguson could be the ideal profile to reinforce the Juventus attack.
Ferguson, valued at around £60 million by Brighton, has struggled for game time this season under new manager Fabian Hürzeler. Despite his limited appearances, the Irish striker’s potential remains highly regarded, having previously shown his goalscoring prowess in the Premier League.
A loan move to Juventus could benefit both parties, offering Ferguson the opportunity for more playing time at a top club, while providing Juventus with a talented young striker to support their campaign. However, competition for Ferguson’s signature is expected to be fierce, with several Premier League clubs also reportedly interested in securing his services for the remainder of the season.
