The 18-year-old joined the Seagulls from Irish club Bohemians in January 2021 and has already made an impact, scoring nine goals in all competitions this season, including four in the Premier League.

Ferguson also scored his first senior goal for the Republic of Ireland in last month’s friendly against Latvia.

“He trains and plays like a senior player with many years of experience and has become an important squad member. The aim is to help him become one of the strongest strikers in Europe.”

Ferguson signed his first long-term professional contract on his 18th birthday last October.

He then scored his first Premier League goal at home to Arsenal on 31 December, becoming his club and country’s youngest Premier League goalscorer.

Three days later, he made his first Premier League start and scored again during a 4-1 win at Everton.

With his talent and determination, Ferguson has the potential to become a key player for Brighton and a future star for the Republic of Ireland.
