Brighton and Genoa have reached an agreement for a loan move involving Irish striker Evan Ferguson. The Republic of Ireland player is set to join Brighton on a loan deal, covering 30% of his wages. According to Sky Sport, Ferguson's availability is expected early in October. This move follows a pattern for Ferguson, who has been loaned out twice in the past two years.
Since his time at Brighton, he has endured a challenging period at West Ham and a season at Roma, where an ankle injury limited his playing time and goalscoring ability. Genoa, managed by Daniele De Rossi, has been on the lookout for a reliable center-forward following a summer of departures that left them short on attack. The club is willing to be patient with Ferguson's recovery, hoping to capitalize on the talents of a player once regarded as one of the Premier League's most promising young strikers.
