HITC Verdict: Exciting young talent
In our view, Evan Ferguson is one of the best young talents out there, and the Brighton and Hove Albion striker would be a very good signing for Liverpool, not just for now, but for years to come as well.
The 18-year-old has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water and is banging in the goals for fun.
Described as a “superstar” by former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy on BBC Sport, Ferguson has made five starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League for Brighton and Hove Albion so far this season.
The 18-year-old striker has scored three goals and provided two assists in those games.
The youngster has scored three goals in four FA Cup ties, and scored one goal and given one assist in two Carabao Cup fixtures this campaign.
Paris Saint-Germain and France international forward Kylian Mbappe rates Ferguson highly, telling The Irish Independent that “he is a good player”.
