Italian Serie A club Genoa is exploring the possibility of signing Brighton striker Evan Ferguson on a temporary basis, according to reports. The 21-year-old has become a subject of interest for the Italian side as the transfer window progresses, marking another potential move away from the English Premier League club for the young forward.
Ferguson has faced significant challenges in recent seasons that have disrupted his development. He has not featured for Brighton since December 2024 and completed an underwhelming loan spell at Roma during the previous campaign, where an ankle injury in March limited his involvement to just 16 league starts. Prior to that, a temporary move to West Ham during the latter half of the 2024-25 season also failed to reignite his career. Given his fitness status and expected unavailability until October at the earliest, a permanent transfer appears unlikely in the current market, making a loan arrangement more feasible.
For Brighton, this represents another decision point regarding a player once viewed as a potential elite-level talent following his hat-trick against Newcastle in 2023. The club now faces the challenge of managing Ferguson’s recovery while exploring options that could benefit both parties. A move to Genoa could provide the forward with the opportunity to gain regular playing time in a different league under careful management, potentially helping him rediscover the form and consistency that have eluded him throughout his recent injury-plagued period.
