£60m Crystal Palace star finally ready to secure move to Man United in the summer with Evan Ferguson talks adding depth

At 22, the attacking midfielder has plenty of potential to take his game to the next level and often hits high metrics for being one of the Eagles’ best performers year in, and year out.

Injuries have hampered his effect on Roy Hodgson’s side this season but in just 11 outings, he has scored six goals and registered three assists in a team struggling at the lower ends of the Premier League table.

Able to play as a number eight or ten, his flexibility in midfield could help Ten Hag’s current conundrum and also provide further cover for the ageing Casemiro and the never-ending engine of Bruno Fernandes.

Evan Ferguson
Evan Ferguson of Brighton celebrates after scoring the team’s fourth goal during the Premier League match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Luton Town at American Express Community Stadium on August 12, 2023 in Brighton, England.

Brighton forward Evan Ferguson has enjoyed a breakthrough spell at the Amex Stadium and it appears only a matter of time before Europe’s top clubs start to swoon around him.

The Republic of Ireland international began his career in Dublin and moved to Brighton back in 2021 from Bohemians.

Still only 19, Ferguson stands at an imposing 6ft tall and has the all-around skillset that makes him one of the most feared forwards in the Premier League.

United brought Rasmus Hojlund to the club last summer and the Dane has had to bear the weight of the attacking pressure at United due to Anthony Martial’s continuous injury problems.

Ferguson would be a shrewd addition and would secure the Red Devils’ attack for at least the next ten years.
