Evan Ferguson of Brighton is a striker that Arsenal is interested in acquiring for additional £100 million.
Top teams in Europe are taking notice of Ferguson, who is emerging as one of the Premier League’s most fascinating young talents.
But unlike when they signed midfielder Declan Rice, Arsenal will wait until the summer of 2017 to make a bid for the 18-year-old. Instead, they will use this campaign to build the framework for a future agreement.
The likes of Manchester United, Tottenham, and Liverpool, who have all expressed interest in the Irishman, will have to compete with the Gunners.
Arsenal, however, is already in prime position to secure their man at a significant premium, according to FootballTransfers.
In 2028, Ferguson’s current Brighton contract will come to an end.
In 31 games for the Seagulls, he has scored 11 goals.
