Evan Ferguson’s Roma future still uncertain despite Celtic brace | OneFootball

Evan Ferguson’s brace against Celtic in the Europa League provided a much-needed highlight, but according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the young striker’s future at AS Roma remains highly uncertain, with a return to Brighton & Hove Albion still a distinct possibility.

The Irishman’s two goals in Glasgow were a moment of redemption after months of struggle, but the report suggests this single performance has not fundamentally changed the club’s view. Roma is reportedly still considering cutting the loan deal short, a possibility reinforced by Brighton’s potential need for an attacking replacement due to injury.

Manager Gian Piero Gasperini’s recent comments further underline the situation. The coach publicly stressed that the club cannot afford to stand still and must use the January transfer window as a crucial opportunity to strengthen the offensive unit, explicitly targeting other players like Zirkzee.

To avoid an early exit, Ferguson must now demonstrate consistency in upcoming matches. The striker has faced criticism over his physical condition and has reportedly struggled to adapt to the tactical and high-intensity training methods in Italy. His future in Rome depends entirely on whether he can translate his Celtic heroics into a consistent run of form.
