Brighton are hopeful of agreeing a new contract with boy wonder Evan Ferguson before the end of the month - despite strong interest from Manchester United and Tottenham.
Roberto de Zerbi says Brighton are lucky to have the 18-year-old forward, who they picked up from Irish side Bohemians ahead of Liverpool, and says he can become a 'European great'.
United want Ferguson this summer, as well as a more experienced striker, while Tottenham see him as an heir apparent to Harry Kane. England captain Kane may yet decide to see out his contract and leave on a free next summer with Paris St Germain and Real Madrid now lurking.
