Manchester United are interested in signing Brighton & Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson, but his asking price could be a stumbling block.
Manchester United are interested in signing Brighton & Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson ahead of the summer transfer window, but journalist Ben Jacobs has now told GIVEMESPORT that his asking price could be a stumbling block for the Red Devils.
As we head towards the transfer market opening once again, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his recruitment team will be working behind the scenes to identify targets to help reinforce Erik ten Hag's squad. Signing a striker could be considered one of their priorities, with Anthony Martial's contract expiring at the end of the season. Rasmus Hojlund spent a spell on the treatment table alongside Martial this year, which left ten Hag short of options in attack.
Hojlund is still in the early stages of his career, so relying on him too heavily might not be ideal for his development. The Red Devils would benefit from bringing in another striker to compete with him as Martial has struggled to do so this term.
Evan Ferguson a Target for United
Writing in his column for GIVEMESPORT, Jacobs claimed that United have identified Brighton youngster Ferguson as an option for the summer transfer window. The Republic of Ireland international won't come cheap, with the Seagulls playing hardball when it comes to outgoings in the past. Roberto De Zerbi's side will likely point to when they offloaded Moises Caicedo to Chelsea last summer, when the Ecuadorian midfielder moved to Stamford Bridge for a British-record fee of £115m.
Although Ferguson has been in and out of the side so far this season, at the age of 19, it's an impressive achievement to be so regularly involved under De Zerbi. A key issue for Martial this term hasn't just been his performances, but his lack of availability is a major problem, with just 445 Premier League minutes to his name. Journalist Fabrizio Romano recently told GIVEMESPORT that the French striker is expected to leave when his contract expires at the end of the campaign.
Ferguson, who has been described as a 'superstar' by former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy, would provide ten Hag with a regularly available option in attack, while he's also a player who is yet to reach his full potential and has plenty of time to grow and develop.
Ben Jacobs - Evan Ferguson a Possibility for United
Jacobs has suggested that Ferguson could be a possibility for United during the summer transfer window. The journalist also adds that his price tag could be a stumbling block, with the Seagulls likely to demand in the region of £100m to allow him to depart.
Man Utd Eyeing Double Everton Swoop
Sources have confirmed to GIVEMESPORT that Manchester United are plotting a double move to sign Everton duo Amadou Onana and Jarrad Branthwaite in the summer transfer window. The Toffees are unlikely to want to sell both in the same window, but the Red Devils consider them key targets in two areas of the pitch where they want to strengthen.
United have a host of targets to reinforce their midfield and defence, but a large portion of them are from abroad. The Manchester outfit want to bring in some Premier League experience when the market reopens, and despite being young talents, Onana and Branthwaite have plenty of games under their belt in England.
