Everton Plot Ambitious Move for ‘Explosive’ Ferguson as Moyes Eyes Major Striker Revival
Everton are reportedly preparing a summer swoop for Brighton’s young forward Evan Ferguson, with former Toffees boss David Moyes eager to work closely with the Republic of Ireland international, according to *Football Insider*.
Finding a reliable striker is expected to be one of Everton’s top priorities in the upcoming transfer window. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contract expiring at the end of the season and no extension in sight, his departure appears more likely by the day. The club’s other forward options—Beto, who has struggled for form, loaned-in Armando Broja, and the developing Youssef Chermiti—haven’t been consistent enough to guarantee long-term success.
However, the financial landscape at Goodison Park could be changing. With The Friedkin Group recently completing their takeover, Everton may finally have the resources to invest significantly in key positions. And Ferguson could be at the top of their wishlist.
The 19-year-old striker’s career momentum has stalled following a string of injuries and limited game time. Despite an exciting start at Brighton, Ferguson has found minutes hard to come by. He was loaned to West Ham United in January, but his time there hasn’t reignited his form—managing only one Premier League start and a total of 145 minutes on the pitch.
Still, Moyes reportedly believes he has the ability to revitalise Ferguson’s development and help him reach his full potential. The West Ham boss, who has long admired Ferguson’s attributes, is confident he can ‘transform’ the forward and help him rediscover the explosive form that once drew widespread praise. Premier League pundit Chris Sutton even described Ferguson as “explosive” during his early breakout with Brighton.
While Ferguson’s recent struggles might raise eyebrows, a move to Everton under new ownership and with Moyes’ guidance could offer the ideal environment for a fresh start—both for the player and a club hungry to establish a powerful attacking presence in their new stadium era.
