Everton suffer setback in pursuit of striker for David Moyes
Football Insider Verdict
Everton’s attacking struggles have been evident this season, with the Toffees netting just 19 goals—only bottom-placed Southampton have scored fewer with 16.
Brighton’s Ferguson has emerged as a potential target, with West Ham also monitoring the striker as they look to strengthen their squad in the January window.
David Moyes’ side are keen to bring in multiple reinforcements to avoid being dragged into the Premier League relegation battle, and Ferguson’s availability has attracted interest.
The 20-year-old has endured a frustrating campaign, making just two league starts under new Brighton boss Fabian Hürzeler.
Football Insider previously reported that Ferguson is keen on a move away due to his lack of game time, making Everton a logical destination—particularly with Calvert-Lewin injured again and Beto struggling for form.
Calvert-Lewin ended his 17-match goal drought against Tottenham on 19 January but has since suffered another setback, deepening the team’s attacking woes.
Meanwhile, a deal for Ernest Nuamah also appears to be off the table, leaving Moyes with limited attacking options as the transfer window nears its conclusion.
In other news, Everton have been backed to complete the signing of a Premier League midfielder.
