Sport nationCeltic FC Eyeing Late Loan Move for ‘Explosive’ Premier League Striker Evan Ferguson
As the January transfer window hurtles towards its climax, Celtic FC are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of reinforcements to bolster their squad. The Scottish Premiership leaders, who are currently 10 points ahead of second-placed Rangers with a game in hand, are keen to strengthen their attacking options, particularly in light of Kyogo Furuhashi’s recent departure to Stade Rennais.
According to reports, Celtic FC have set their sights on Brighton and Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson, with a view to securing a loan deal for the 18-year-old Republic of Ireland international. Ferguson, who has been described as ‘explosive’, has struggled to find consistency this season, netting just one goal in 12 Premier League appearances.
Despite his lack of form, Ferguson remains a highly sought-after talent, with numerous Premier League sides, including Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham, and West Ham United, reportedly interested in acquiring his services. However, Celtic FC’s domestic success and potential for further progression in Europe may give them the edge in trying to lure Ferguson to their team.
Brighton and Hove Albion are reportedly open to Ferguson’s departure on loan, or permanently, should the right offer come in. While owner Tony Bloom is a big fan of the player, it is clear that Ferguson needs to regain his confidence and find his spark. A loan move to Celtic FC could provide him with the perfect opportunity to do so, with the promise of consistent minutes and the chance to compete in the Champions League.
Celtic FC’s interest in Ferguson is the latest development in what has been a busy transfer window for the Scottish Premiership leaders. The club has already confirmed the return of Portuguese winger Jota from Stade Rennais, while they are also reportedly close to securing a deal for Kieran Tierney to return to the club from Arsenal, either this month or on a pre-contract agreement for a transfer in the summer.
As the transfer deadline looms large, Celtic FC’s fans will be eagerly awaiting news of any developments on the transfer front. With the club’s hierarchy working tirelessly to strengthen the squad, it promises to be a thrilling conclusion to the January transfer window.
In the midst of this transfer frenzy, one thing is clear: Celtic FC are determined to build on their domestic success and make a meaningful impact in Europe. With their sights set on ‘explosive’ striker Evan Ferguson, the Scottish Premiership leaders are pulling out all the stops to ensure that they are well-equipped to achieve their ambitions.
