Date published: Saturday 25th March 2023 8:15 -Evan Ferguson has flown up the steps to the Premier League and seems destined to ascend to the very top. But Johnny Nic urges the Brighton striker to stay where he is for now. Here’s ‘What’s So Great About…’ the Seagulls striker…Evan Joe Ferguson is just 18 years old, not 19 until October. He is a 6’2” Irish striker for Brighton and Hove Albion.
Liverpool’s scouts had identified him as an excellent prospect, but Brighton offered him a contract, first playing with their Under-18’s and then in the Under-21 squad. He made his debut in the Premier League 2 in August 2021 and proceeded to impress mightily, netting 18 times in 39 games, chipping in with three assists too and winning Brighton’s goal of the month competition for November 2021 for his goal against Everton Under-23s.
The reason he is regarded as such a great prospect is partly because he has moved through the development squads into senior teams with such ease. Every step up has never been a struggle for him. But he is also one of those players who just seems very self confident and assured in front of goal. He’s scored all but three of his goals playing as a centre-forward and goalscoring centre forwards are always the most in-demand players.
A closer watch of his play reveals a player who is evolving into a complete striker, one who is as valuable for his approach play as for his goals.
