Brighton are confident of agreeing a new contract with boy wonder Evan Ferguson.

The striker, who has already played for the Irish national team this season, is being linked to top clubs around England.

Ferguson is a summer target for Manchester United, per the Manchester Evening News.

Tottenham, Paris St. Germain and Real Madrid have also been monitoring his situation, per The Mail.

The source adds that Brighton are hoping they can convince Ferguson to renew his deal.

Ferguson supported United as a boy and idolised Wayne Rooney, which does give them an edge if there is a transfer tug of war.
