Brighton striker Evan Ferguson is a player Arsenal could turn to in the January transfer window.
 

This is according to journalist Ben Jacobs, who works as a Senior Football Correspondent at GIVEMESPORT.

Jacobs says: "I would keep an eye on Evan Ferguson - a player that, when he was playing regularly for Brighton sort of 18 months or so ago, was very much on Arsenal's radar.

"But of course, at that point, everyone was speaking like he would have a £80million to £100million price tag.

"Now I think suitors are waiting to see whether Brighton are prepared to loan or sell Evan Ferguson. I think a loan is probably more likely than a permanent sale."
 

Ferguson has seen limited playing time this season under new manager Fabian Hurzeler, as the German coach prefers Joao Pedro, Danny Welbeck, and Georginio Rutter.

In addition to Arsenal, clubs such as West Ham and Fulham have also been mentioned as potential destinations for the Irish international.
