Brighton are looking the most likely club to secure the signature of Irish youngster Evan Ferguson.

The 16-year-old is on the radar of several top clubs in England.

Now his manager at Bohemians, Keith Long, has confirmed that a deal is likely to take place in the summer.

Long said, per The Sun: "He has a deal already done with Brighton. He'll go in the summer. I don't think there's any secret there."

Ferguson has already made his senior debut for Bohemians, playing in the 2-1 win over St. Patrick's Athletic on Monday.

He rose to fame in 2019 when he played as a substitute against Chelsea for 23 minutes when he was only 14.

He was sensational in those 23 minutes, almost scoring a superb individual goal.

Since then, he has been on the radar of many teams, and it appears Brighton have won the race to sign him.
