Ferguson signed a six-year deal with Brighton in November last year and is likely to stay on loan in the Premier League rather than drop down to the Championship. Ideal circumstances would see him regularly play but the club values him at around £60 million, making any loan challenging. Brighton don't want to sell the young talent, particularly as he has demonstrated skill that places him above many in his age group, evidenced by his recent success.
Ferguson had shown enough ability before his injury to attract interest from various Premier League clubs, particularly following an impressive hat-trick against Newcastle just two months before. Despite a tough start to the season, and being behind others in selection, he remains a player with great potential. His impressive performances for the Republic of Ireland showcase his talent, but injuries and the club’s strong form are keeping him on the bench.
