Everton are also admirers of Ferguson and the Brighton star is open to joining David Moyes’ team, but the Toffees can only afford a loan this month. They would have to cancel the loan of Armando Broja to free up their quota and make a deal possible, but Chelsea are reluctant to take Broja back unless Everton pay a compensation fee and the remainder of his wages for the season.

A report claimed Everton had made contact with Brighton over a loan move for Evan Ferguson. Although Ferguson would be open to joining Everton on a temporary deal, he is suffering from an ankle injury, and Brighton are less reluctant to let him go due to other injuries in their squad.

Everton have expressed interest in Ferguson, but any potential move for him would require freeing up one of their loan slots, which seems unlikely at this point. The Toffees are among several Premier League clubs, including West Ham, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Fulham, that have shown interest in the Brighton striker. Although Ferguson was once viewed as a promising talent, he has struggled to secure game time this season, managing to score only once in 12 appearances. This situation has led Brighton to consider the possibility of loaning him out. However, Brighton is reluctant to make a decision until they confirm Danny Welbeck's fitness, adding another layer of complexity to any potential move.
