Evan Ferguson appeared to have strained his hamstring during Ireland’s Euro 2024 qualifier against the Netherlands in Amsterdam.

In the 55th minute, Brighton striker Jamie McGrath was replaced as the Boys in Green sought an equalizer.

Ferguson, who arrived in the Ireland camp with a back problem, was spotted applying ice to his hamstring after leaving the game at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

“I think it’s fair to say he left the pitch because of an injury because as soon as he came to the bench, the medical team brought ice over to him and then proceeded to strap his hamstring area,” RTE’s Tony O’Donoghue remarked from pitchside shortly after Ferguson came off.

“He arrived at camp with a back injury and appears to be leaving with a hamstring injury.” Brighton is not going to be pleased.”

Playing under a closed roof at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam due to heavy rain, the Dutch dominated possession early on and took the lead with just 12 minutes gone.

On midway, defender Stefan de Vrij put the ball into the feet of striker Wout Weghorst, who brilliantly twisted Nathan Collins before racing in on goal and hammering a right-foot drive past the helpless Gavin Bazunu.

Manchester United Are Interested In Brighton Forward: Can De Zerbi Afford To Lose Him?

According to a recent claim by journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United is interested in Brighton and Hove Albion forward Evan Ferguson ahead of the January transfer window. According to reports, the Red Devils are keen to sign the Irish striker from the Seagulls next season.

Ferguson’s Outstanding Performances At Brighton This Season

Ferguson is having a good season with the English club after putting in a few fruitful performances as the focal point of Brighton’s attack. The 19-year-old has scored five goals in 14 matches for the Seagulls this season across various categories.

The gifted youth has led the line well at times, averaging 1.6 shots and 0.4 critical passes per game in the Premier League. He’s also been efficient with possession distribution deep within the opponent’s half, completing 88% of his attempted passes in the English top flight (data via whoscored).

His current deal at American Express Community Stadium expires in the summer of 2029. As a result, Brighton has no immediate need to sell him in January.

Can Robert De Zerbi, the manager of Brighton, afford to lose Ferguson??

Ferguson is skilled at creating space for himself to strike at goal. When he is at his best, he can be a decent finisher in front of the opposing goal.

On the attacking third of the game, the Northern Irish prodigy can even generate chances for his teammates and is an accurate passer of the ball. The talented youngster can even make some deft ball moves. However, he is still in his infancy and will require time to establish himself as a consistent performer at the highest level.

Ferguson is currently a key member of Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi’s senior squad. He has the potential to be a world-class forward eventually at the age of 19. As a result, the Seagulls simply cannot afford to lose Ferguson in the approaching January transfer window, as he has the potential to help them contend for a European position in the Premier League this season.
