Manchester City want to partner Evan Ferguson with Erling Haaland.
But the treble-winners will have to splash the cash as the Irishman is valued at a whopping £150 million.The Seagulls believe Ferguson's transfer away from the club will command a fee bigger than Moises Caicedo's British-record £115 million switch to Chelsea.
Ferguson, meanwhile, has been likened to the likes of Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane, but Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has compared him to Italy great Christian Vieri.Asked who he reminds him off, he told :"Christian Vieri... Bobo Vieri was left-footed, Evan is right. But their characteristics are very close. I have an Italian colleague here in the room, please explain to everyone, they are very similar, because I'm very tired!. He scored more than 200 goals. He worked the same areas as Evan."
On Ferguson, Shearer himself said:"I can tell, just with his movement, his touch and his understanding of the game, that he is a special talent already."
