Journalist David Ornstein says Chelsea is keeping an eye on Evan Ferguson, a young striker from Brighton. Instead of spending a lot of money on Ivan Toney, Chelsea is thinking about getting Ferguson, who’s only 19 but already showing great promise in the Premier League. He scored a hat-trick this season, proving he’s one of the better forwards in the league.
Many people thought Chelsea would go for Toney in January to solve their goal-scoring problems. But Ornstein hints that Ferguson is just one of the names being talked about as potential targets for the team.

The reporter said that if Chelsea isn’t currently looking at Ivan Toney, they might be checking out another striker, Victor Osimhen. But he made it clear he doesn’t know for sure. Getting Osimhen from Napoli is hard because it costs a lot, and we’re not sure if Chelsea will qualify. Even though there could be difficulties, Osimhen is one of the strikers that big clubs are thinking about.
The reporter said those who find players often talk about other guys like Lautaro Martinez, Sesko, Ferguson, and Boniface. These players are really wanted by teams, and there aren’t enough of them to go around. Ivan Toney could switch teams in January or summer, but it’s unclear if Arsenal will actively pursue him. And we’re not sure if Chelsea wants to do more transfer business with Brighton, especially after almost not getting Moises Caicedo last summer.
The journalist’s thoughts show that Chelsea is looking at different strikers, and Osimhen could be one of them. The competition for popular players is tough, and Chelsea might make decisions based on things like how much it costs, if they qualify for the Champions League, and their past experiences with clubs like Brighton.
