Leicester City is reportedly considering an ambitious move for Brighton & Hove Albion forward Evan Ferguson in the upcoming January transfer window. The Foxes are seeking to strengthen their squad with a new centre forward as part of their efforts to avoid relegation back to the Championship. It is understood that Leicester would need to secure the Republic of Ireland international on a permanent basis to facilitate his transfer to the Midlands in 2025. Brighton has previously set a price tag exceeding €120 million for Ferguson, which poses a significant financial challenge for Leicester in their pursuit of the 20-year-old.
