Evan Ferguson close to joining Roma

Young Irish striker Evan Ferguson, currently playing for English Premier League club Brighton, may continue his career in the Italian championship. According to journalistic sources, the 20-year-old footballer is expected to spend the new season at Roma on a loan basis.

Currently, negotiations between the two clubs have entered the final stage. The striker's contract with Brighton runs until the summer of 2029. However, his performance last season shows that he needs regular playing time.

In the 2024/25 season, Ferguson appeared in 21 Premier League matches but managed to score only 1 goal. This suggests that he needs consistent match experience to fully showcase his potential. At a strong club like Roma, he might be able to show his true abilities.

The portal Transfermarkt values Evan Ferguson at 25 million euros. From this perspective, trying himself in another league on a loan deal may be a beneficial solution for both the club and the player.

Experts note that Ferguson's mobility, physical fitness, and behavior on the field, despite his young age, align well with Roma’s playing style. If this deal becomes official, it could open up exciting opportunities both for the Irish player and for Italian football. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
