The next £100m transfer battle? Arsenal join Chelsea in pursuit of prodigious Brighton hitman Evan Ferguson

As per <a href="https://www.footballinsider247.com/arsenal-set-sights-on-evan-ferguson-as-senior-source-shares-huge-reveal/" target="_blank">Football Insider</a>, the 19-year-old is on the shortlist alongside several centre-forward targets the Gunners are considering who can start for the team in the upcoming campaign. Brentford ace Ivan Toney has been linked to Arsenal, but the North London team is currently evaluating other options that could fit into Mikel Arteta's star lineup.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ferguson has also drawn interest from Chelsea in the past as the teenager was recently connected to Chelsea<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-move-evan-ferguson-mauricio-pochettino-responds-speculation-blues-land-100m-rated-brighton-star/blt09c60683e8e5833e" target="_blank"> according to reports that indicated he could fetch up to £100 million</a> for Brighton. In April of last year, Ferguson signed a five-year contract with Brighton. Seven months later, he signed an extension that would extend until the summer of 2029.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ferguson put on some extremely excellent performances in the second half of the previous season to earn a spot in the Seagulls starting lineup. With six goals and two assists in 19 league games last season, the teenager sprang to prominence as one of English football's most exciting talents very rapidly. He has scored another six goals this season, including a hat-trick against Newcastle United in September.

DID YOU KNOW?

With the summer still some time away, both Arsenal and Chelsea will have enough time to assess their options before deciding if they want to get pulled into a battle with one another for Ferguson, while the Irishman will be put up against the likes of Victor Osimhen and Toney who will also likely be on the move next summer.
