Arsenal are actively seeking to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season and have set their sights on Brighton striker Evan Ferguson, according to reports. With Gabriel Jesús struggling with injuries and a need for improved goal-scoring performance, the Gunners view Ferguson as a valuable addition to their squad.

Football Insider states that Arsenal are closely monitoring the young Republic of Ireland international with a potential summer transfer in mind. Previously, Ferguson had attracted interest from Chelsea, who were rumored to be willing to pay up to £100 million for the 19-year-old, as reported by the Evening Standard.

Brighton has a history of selling their top talents, such as Leandro Trossard and Ben White, both of whom joined Arsenal. This suggests that the club may be open to negotiating a transfer for Ferguson if a suitable offer is made.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea are potential destinations for Ferguson. However, considering Chelsea’s current situation, the Emirates Stadium appears to be the more affordable option at the moment. While Chelsea has an intriguing project focused on young players, Arsenal offers stability, the opportunity to compete for important titles, and European football.

With the summer transfer window approaching, there may be further developments at the top level of football that could impact Ferguson’s future. Players like Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney could also be potential targets, adding more intrigue to the transfer market for the talented Irish striker.
