Chelsea have now joined the race to sign the player, and they may look to secure him on loan with an option to buy. According to TEAMtalk, the player’s value is estimated at around £35-40 million.
Meanwhile, a report from TBR Football suggests that West Ham, Arsenal, and Tottenham are also interested in the Irishman. It will be interesting to see where he ultimately decides to go.
The 20-year-old is highly regarded across England, and he could become a valuable long-term investment for any of the four clubs. With the right development, Ferguson has the potential to grow into a dependable Premier League striker.
Chelsea, Arsenal, and Spurs have all been successful in nurturing young talent over the years, and they could play an important role in Ferguson’s growth as well. The reported asking price seems fair for a player of his potential in today’s market, and the deal could prove to be a bargain in the future.
It’s still uncertain where he will end up. He will need to choose a club where he will get plenty of playing time.
Chelsea are looking to strengthen their attack, and Ferguson could complement Nicolas Jackson. He could help share the goal-scoring responsibilities with Jackson. The Blues will be hoping for a top-four finish, and a quality signing this month could play a big part in securing that.
