2 goals in 17 games: Chelsea could be at risk of being conned out of £100m

Surely Chelsea can do better than Evan Ferguson

Chelsea reportedly still have a firm interest in the potential transfer of Brighton striker Evan Ferguson, despite his worrying drop-off in form.

The talented young Republic of Ireland international looked like a huge prospect just over a year ago, but he’s really struggled in front of goal in recent times, finding the back of the net just twice in his last 17 games in all competitions for club and country.

Still, it seems that not only are Chelsea still interested in Ferguson, but that Brighton would also still ask for as much as £100million for him, according to a report from TEAMtalk.

Ferguson is not the only name on Chelsea’s radar as they look for signings up front, with Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap also mentioned by TEAMtalk.

Still, the long-standing interest in Ferguson is surprising, and the Blues surely need to be very careful about forking out huge money for the 20-year-old after his total loss of form.

If Ferguson gets back to his best soon, then perhaps he would be someone worth looking at, but it’s debatable if he’s ever looked like someone who should be being talked about as a £100m player.

For that kind of money, Chelsea could surely land proven elite players to come in and give them an upgrade on Nicolas Jackson, who has improved a lot this season but for whom there are perhaps still a few question-marks.

TEAMtalk’s report also mentions Victor Osimhen, and that’s surely the calibre of player you’d expect to be getting if you spend anywhere close to £100m, while CFC fans will also surely have their own ideas about potential targets.

Other big names like Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak are both exciting attacking talents who could strengthen this Chelsea side, but the club’s apparent fascination with Ferguson shows a worrying lack of judgement.
