Championship clubs queue for Brighton striker Evan Ferguson

Championship clubs are queuing up for Brighton striker Evan Ferguson.

The Daily Mail says the 18-year-old, who has made just five first team appearances for Brighton, became the fourth youngest player to appear for the Republic of Ireland when he came on as a substitute against Norway on Thursday and is expected to be part of the side that faces Malta on Sunday.

Brighton handed him a contract until 2026 but have had a number of clubs looking to take him on loan in January.

High-flying Sheffield United, Millwall, Middlesbrough, Birmingham City and Preston North End are all following his progress as well as Bristol City, Wigan and League OneIpswich Town.

Ferguson made a big impression on his international teammates and has been tipped for a bright future.
