Everton 'to seal Evan Ferguson transfer within days' after new reveal

Everton have scored the second-fewest goals in the Premier League this season.

Only bottom-dwellers Southampton with 15 have scored less than the Blues' tally of 19 in the top flight.

However, the latest update from Fabrizio Romano (27 January) on Evan Ferguson could give the Toffees a major boost ahead of the 3 February deadline.

The renowned Italian journalist reports that he is expected to leave Brighton on loan within days, with the Goodison Park club strongly linked with the Irish international this month (Daily Mail).

Evan Ferguson to solve Everton issues

The Blues have struggled in attack with Beto and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring four Premier League goals combined this campaign.

David Moyes needs more firepower if he is to keep the Toffees in the Premier League convincingly and Ferguson on loan would be a good option that will not be financially difficult.

However, there is an issue, the Goodison Park outfit would have to agree to terminate Armando Broja's loan from Chelsea, as they have already filled their two domestic loan spots at the moment.

If they can come to an agreement with Chelsea over the injured forward, that could pave the way for the Seagulls striker to join the club.

The 20-year-old was regarded as one of the most promising talents in the division when he broke through at the AMEX Stadium but has struggled with injury this season.

The Irishman has 13 goals in 58 appearances in the top flight and could kickstart his season with a move to the Blues.

In other Everton news, an update has been provided on the Blues' interest in Ajax forward Brian Brobbey.
