Which clubs sought to sign Evan Ferguson?
Ferguson returned his long-awaited return from injuries on Saturday, playing the final 17 minutes of Brighton’s defeat 7-0 against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. It was, however, his first appearance in six weeks.
At the beginning of the transfer window, the speculations rotated on a possible movement of loans, with Fulham between the linked clubs. However, Brighton remained indecisive, partly due to Danny Welbeck’s injury and the fact that Ferguson was also breastfeeding. Now, with Welbeck again in physical form, Ferguson seems to have downloaded by the pecker order behind Welbeck and Georginio Rutter in the struggle for an initial place ahead.
It is a strong contrast from a year when Ferguson was related to the elite of Europe by mass commissions. Now, after a team spell, it needs regular minutes to rediscover their best shape.
