Arsenal 'still keen on raiding Premier League rivals for star striker' in shock move - as Mikel Arteta looks to boost forward options ahead of title run-in

Evan Ferguson reportedly remains a target for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta gears up to strengthen his striking options in the run-up to another title race.

The Brighton centre-forward is one of the hottest talents in the Premier League after progressing through the Seagulls' youth system following a move from Irish side Bohemians in 2021.

He made his debut for the south coast outfit in the 2021-22 season and bagged six goals in 19 Premier League appearances the following campaign.

Last term, he scored the same amount in 27 games before stuttering for Fabian Hurzeler's team this season, finding the net just once in 14 matches after being sidelined for the start of the campaign thanks to an ankle injury.
