Evan Ferguson in shock Bayer Leverkusen move! German champions 'lead chase' for Brighton striker as replacement for Saudi-bound Victor Boniface

<p>According to Mark McAdam of <a href="https://x.com/markmcadamtv/status/1884256996922384538" target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports News</em></a>, Leverkusen are keen on securing Ferguson’s services along with several <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-gunners-evan-ferguson-offer-brighton-forward-return-of-one-goal-in-14-games/blt64f4c0df91399a0b" target="_blank">other Premier League clubs</a> including West Ham United. Despite signing long-term extensions with the Seagulls in November 2023, Ferguson has struggled to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-chelsea-man-utd-target-evan-ferguson-linked-january-move-fulham-leicester-seeks-brighton-escape/blte34f5e0c27855767" target="_blank">secure regular minutes</a> under head coach Fabian Hurzeler and there is a belief that the striker needs more consistent playing time to reignite his career. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso confirmed that Victor Boniface, the club’s 24-year-old star striker, is nearing a transfer to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia that is expected to exceed €50 million (£42m/$52m). The Nigerian forward has been a crucial figure for Leverkusen since joining from Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise 18 months ago for €20 million (£17m/$21m). Over his time at the German club, Boniface has amassed an impressive 29 goals and 11 assists in just 49 appearances. However, his impact has been limited in recent months due to a hamstring injury sustained on international duty in November, and he has not featured since. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ferguson has faced stiff competition for a spot in Brighton’s attack, with Danny Welbeck, Joao Pedro, and Georginio all ahead of him in the pecking order. Limited opportunities have hampered his ability to rediscover form, with his only goal in 11 months coming in October as a substitute during a 2-2 draw with Wolves.  </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>For Ferguson, a potential move to Leverkusen represents an opportunity to rebuild momentum in his career. He remains sidelined by an ankle injury, which has kept him out of Brighton’s last six matches. He has not played since a 1-1 draw against West Ham before Christmas, and is likely to miss Saturday’s Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest. </p>
