Evan Ferguson has been valued at £120 million after signing a long-term contract with Brighton & Hove Albion. The young lad has impressed with an immense breakthrough season scoring 9 goals in all competitions including 4 in the Premier League. This exorbitant fee has sent clear signals that the Seagulls will not part ways with the 18-year-old Irishman unless clubs are ready to break the bank.

The £100 million paid by Bayern Munich for Harry Kane will not suffice for the young Brighton striker. As Ange Postecoglou looks for a replacement for his forward line. Kane will be a big miss for the Greek manager who starts his journey with the London club. Tottenham will struggle to find a striker of Englishman’s caliber and with Brighton’s fee for Evan Ferguson, the search may just be prolonged.

Brighton coach De Zerbi has nothing but praise for the young Irishmen who described him as a player with incredible potential.

Hence, it will be important to see Ferguson’s role in the squad.

Further, De Zerbi’s men ended the season with 72 goals. With wins against Liverpool, Man United, and Arsenal, last season, Brighton showed their upward trajectory. An admirable performance was rewarded in the first game against the Hatters in the 4-1 emphatic victory.
