Roma, Ferguson could return to Brighton in January: the latest | OneFootball

The adventure of Evan Ferguson might end prematurely. The Irish striker, after an excellent preseason, is struggling to make an impact with the Giallorossi. After starting in the first few matches, Gasperini has consistently relegated him to the bench, preferring Dovbyk or Dybala as a 'false nine'. Meanwhile, Massara is already working to find the ideal offensive profile: Kalimuendo and Zirkzee are in the crosshairs.

Roma-Ferguson, is it already goodbye? The Irishman might leave after just 6 months

Giampiero Gasperini's Roma is completely different from what the coach showed us with Atalanta. They concede much less, it's true, but they also score very little. Only 8 goals have been scored in as many Serie A matches. And in January, the Giallorossi might already change things up front, in search of a striker. Evan Ferguson arrived in the summer, who hasn't scored for a club in about a year. Despite an excellent preseason with the capital team, he has yet to make his mark in Serie A. Consequently, his playing time is also decreasing. Gasp often prefers Dovbyk and Dybala over him. And now, his stay with the Giallorossi is becoming increasingly complicated.

In fact, the Roma management is already considering sending him back to Brighton to free up a slot for another striker. The two names on Massara's list are Kalimuendo from Rennes and Zirkzee from United. In tonight's match against Parma, Gasperini even gave him a chance from the start, but he was taken off after just seven minutes due to a knock he suffered just 30 seconds into the game. To worsen his situation, Dovbyk's goal might convince Gasperini to rely on him over the Irishman, at least until a new striker arrives.
