Evan Ferguson, Premier League's new darling.

The 18-year-old Evan Ferguson showed last season that he's a player to watch for in the future. He displayed glimpses of his immense talent at Brighton, scoring goals, and his physical strength for an 18-year-old made him an interesting prospect for top clubs this summer.

In the first two matches of the season, he started on the bench for Brighton, but in the last two matches, he has been in the starting lineup, and in the most recent game against Newcastle, he repaid the trust by scoring three goals. De Zerbi will have a hard time overlooking Ferguson when setting up the team for the next matches because he has a real gem running here that can become a huge asset for the club. Football-wise, he bears a slight resemblance to Erling Haaland, a physical specimen with speed and a nose for goals.

Brighton plays an offensive style of football where possession and flexibility are crucial aspects of their playing philosophy. De Zerbi has often utilized a dynamic forward who roams around the field. Here, Ferguson is more of a classic striker, so efforts are being made to involve him even more in the build-up play than he already does. There is room for improvement in his technical skills, but it's important to remember that he's just 18 years old, so there's plenty of development potential in him. However, when you have an 18-year-old striker who is scoring goals in the Premier League, he should be on the pitch, and he could end up scoring a lot of goals if given the trust and opportunities.
