Report: Chelsea and Arsenal join Tottenham in race for teenage sensation
TEAMtalk have claimed that Arsenal and Chelsea have now joined the likes of Tottenham Hotspur in the race for Evan Ferguson’s signature.
Ferguson is widely seen as a future superstar in the game, with the 19-year-old even likened to Harry Kane because of his all-round game (The Athletic).
It has been widely reported over recent weeks that Spurs view the teenager as a potential heir to Kane but the North London club would have to pay a humungous fee for the centre-forward since he recently penned a new deal at the Amex Stadium that runs until 2025 (talkSPORT).
Chelsea and Arsenal enter the race for Ferguson
It has now been reported by TEAMtalk that Arsenal and Chelsea have joined in the race for Ferguson’s signature, with both London clubs said to be keen on adding a number nine to their squad.
The report states that Mauricio Pochettino has identified the teenager as the man to bolster Chelsea’s frontline and the Blues are allegedly prepared to wait to get their man.
Meanwhile, it is asserted that Arsenal have been scouting the youngster for a long time and are extremely keen on beating their rivals to the player’s signature.
The publication adds that Brighton value the Republic of Ireland internationally at over £100m and there is even some hope at the South Coast club that they could sell the striker for a fee in excess of the the British-record £115m they got for Moises Caicedo.
Spurs Web Opinion
Ferguson would be on the radar of all the top clubs in the Premier League and around Europe as he is an extremely well-rounded centre-forward with almost no weaknesses to his game.
However, Spurs do not have a realistic chance of winning the race for the 19-year-old any longer as Brighton are guaranteed to demand over £100m for the youngster.
