Brighton and Hove Albion will not sell Evan Ferguson to Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur, according to a report.
The Athletic has reported that Tottenham Hotspur have looked at signing Evan Ferguson from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion as a potential replacement for Harry Kane.
England international striker Kane has joined Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
Ferguson is among the strikers Spurs have looked at signing this summer.
However, according to The Athletic, Brighton have “absolutely no intention of selling” the 18-year-old striker in the summer transfer window.
The report has noted that Ferguson recently signed a new contract with Brighton that runs until 2028.
Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi described the Republic of Ireland international as “a special striker” in talkSPORT in March 2023.
Tottenham Hotspur unlikely to be able to sign Evan Ferguson from Brighton and Hove Albion
In our opinion, Tottenham Hotspur are unlikely to be able to sign Evan Ferguson from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.
The striker signed a new contract recently, and he is only 18.
It would make sense for Brighton to develop Ferguson and help him establish himself as one of the best young strikers in the Premier League and then sell him in a few years’ time.
The Seagulls would be able to get a lot more in transfer fees then than they would now.
Ferguson himself might not be keen on a move to Tottenham right now.
After all, Brighton are going places and are playing wonderful football.
And the Seagulls do put faith in young players.
Ferguson has made 20 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The striker has scored six goals and given two assists in those matches.
