Brighton expresses interest in swap deal for Evan Ferguson with Tottenham
Spurs are actively seeking a long-term replacement for Harry Kane, despite Richarlison’s recent improvement. Ferguson, a highly sought-after young player in Europe, shares a similar profile to Spurs icon Kane. An opportunity may soon arise with reports of Brighton’s interest in Spurs outcast Gil, who has only played 217 minutes this season.
According to Corierre dello Sport, Gil is likely to leave Spurs before the January transfer window closes, with various potential suitors in England. It is uncertain whether any deal would include an option to buy the former Spain U21 captain. Negotiations between Spurs and Brighton could open up dialogue over Ferguson’s future. There is a possibility of a swap deal, with Spurs potentially buying Ferguson subsidized by Gil moving in the opposite direction. Alternatively, Spurs could lend Gil to Brighton in the hope of a summer transfer for Ferguson.
The 19-year-old forward would welcome a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and could be a strong candidate to fill the gap left by Kane. Brighton is likely to seek a substantial fee for Ferguson, given their business model and previous record-breaking transfers. CEO Paul Barber mentioned the importance of developing Ferguson’s talent before any potential transfer.
Overall, Spurs are actively exploring options for a long-term replacement for Harry Kane, and negotiations with Brighton could be a key factor in determining Ferguson’s future.
