Aston Villa is monitoring Brighton striker Evan Ferguson in an effort to enhance their attacking lineup. The club, which is currently managing a challenging Premier League and Champions League season, is also engaged in discussions with Borussia Dortmund regarding forward Donyell Malen. Although Villa has submitted a bid for Malen, their financial limitations have led them to consider other possibilities, including Ferguson, as they strive to strengthen their squad and remain competitive in both domestic and European contests.
