Report: Chelsea could make huge money bid for 'special' striker who scored hat-trick vs Newcastle this season
Reports have claimed that Chelsea are now considering making a signing that will smash their transfer record.
According to TalkSport, the Blues are contemplating making a bid for Evan Ferguson, after dealing with Brighton a lot in the last 18 months or so.
It was just half a season ago that Chelsea were deeply engrained in transfer talks with the Seagulls over a deal for Moises Caicedo.
The negotiations went on throughout the majority of the summer, however it wasn’t until Liverpool made their interest in the player clear.
The Ecuadorian however made it clear that he wanted the Blues, and that eventually went through for a club-record fee.
However, it has now been reported that they could be willing to smash that in order to bring in Ferguson, who they are long-term admirers of.
Chelsea considering big Ferguson bid
The Irishman has already shown plenty of ability in his short time at the top of the Premier League. Alan Shearer has described him as a ‘very special’ player.
He really took the headlines earlier this season. Mere hours after Chelsea were defeated at home to Nottingham Forest, the youngster found the net three times against Newcastle United at home.
The report does go on to say that it is unlikely Ferguson makes the move anytime soon, with him only signing a new contract with his current club months ago.
The Blues have been widely linked with the signing of a striker either this month or at the end of the season.
Victor Osimhen has often been touted as the favourite for many figures at Stamford Bridge, however his recent new contract makes that impossible during the January transfer window.
Elsewhere, they have also been linked with Premier League star Ivan Toney, although he looks set to see out this season at least with Brentford after returning from his suspension.
