🚨🏟️BREAKING NEWS: Fabrizio Romano has confirmed fantastic news for Liverpool fans this evening.

Liverpool could potentially explore the market for a new centre-forward in the coming months, although much will depend on how Darwin Núñez performs in the second half of the season.

Despite reports of genuine interest from Saudi clubs in the Uruguayan striker, it’s understood that Liverpool have no intention of selling him during the current transfer window. This stance is understandable, given the unlikelihood of securing an upgrade midway through the season.

Former Liverpool Target Evan Ferguson Back in the Spotlight

Speculation about potential striker reinforcements is bound to surface, and it’s only a matter of time before Brighton’s Evan Ferguson is linked with the Reds again. Fabrizio Romano recently reported on X (formerly Twitter) that the Republic of Ireland international is “expected to leave” Brighton on loan this January, sparking fresh discussion about his future.

Ferguson, who was reportedly on Liverpool’s radar back in 2023, has experienced a significant dip in form since Fabian Hürzeler took charge of Brighton in the summer of 2024. The 20-year-old forward has struggled for opportunities this season, logging only 373 minutes of playing time across all competitions and scoring just one goal. This marks a stark contrast to his 2023/24 campaign, during which he registered seven goal contributions in 1,721 minutes.

The young striker’s lack of minutes and goals this term has raised concerns about his development, but a successful loan move could help him rediscover his form and reignite his Premier League career.

Could Ferguson Still Be an Option for Liverpool?

For Liverpool to consider Ferguson seriously as a summer target, his potential loan spell would need to be exceptionally productive, either locally or in Europe. Sporting director Richard Hughes will undoubtedly keep an eye on the striker’s progress, though it would take an extraordinary turnaround to put him back on Liverpool’s radar.

That said, football often delivers surprises, and stranger things have happened. For now, Liverpool’s focus remains on Darwin Núñez and his ability to step up during the remainder of the season, but the possibility of new attacking reinforcements in the future can’t be entirely ruled out.
