Several clubs are interested in signing Ferguson, including Rangers, Celtic, Nottingham Forest, Everton, and Fulham. However, Roma seem to be the frontrunners for the young striker. Despite his age, Ferguson has already scored 13 Premier League goals in 60 appearances.
As part of the potential deal, Ferguson would compete with Roma's current centre-forward, Artem Dovbyk, under the management of Gian Piero Gasperini. The Irish international would be joining a Roma team that is on the rise and aiming for European football next season.
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has opted for other players, such as Danny Welbeck and Georginio Rutter, in the past season. With the departure of Joao Pedro confirmed, it seems unlikely that Ferguson will get a chance to play for Brighton in the Premier League.
Ferguson is one of four players to have scored a Premier League hat-trick at the age of 18. He would be an exciting addition to a Roma side that is looking to challenge for European football next season.
