That\u2019s what I see when I look at Evan Ferguson.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I had the best seat in the house to watch Alan score a bundle of goals for Blackburn. The natural feel to his finishing, his physicality, his positioning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson is only 18 but already he is displaying the attributes which made Alan a total menace for Premier League defenders.<\/p>\n<p>It is ridiculous to think that Ferguson is only just getting going. Imagine where he will be in four years when he is 22. By then, he will be stronger and smarter and he will know when and where to apply those strong runs.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure Ferguson won\u2019t let these headlines go to his head. He seems like a good character who will stay humble and keep working hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/03\/21\/75018251-0-image-a-17_1693772422877.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Evan Ferguson scored a hat-trick as Brighton thrashed Newcastle at the AMEX Stadium\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/03\/21\/75018331-0-image-a-18_1693772735086.jpg\" height=\"450\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The 18-year-old striker plays like a young Alan Shearer at Blackburn Rovers<\/p>\n<p>He will know he\u2019s got a long way to go if he wants to keep being compared to someone such as Alan Shearer for the remainder of his career.\u00a0He might end up as the biggest Brighton transfer yet \u2014 and they got \u00a3115million for Moises Caicedo!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All of the Premier League\u2019s big boys should be looking at him. If they aren\u2019t, they\u2019re fools. He is a striker who can link up with others and score in a variety of ways. His goals haven\u2019t been copy and pastes of each other. Just look at his hat-trick against Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m excited to see how he progresses in a team that loves to create chances.
