  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Ferguson joined Brighton in 2021, netting 17 goals and adding six assists. A series of injuries stalled his progress, leading to a six-month loan at West Ham. While Roma had also shown interest in Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, they ultimately focused on Ferguson, securing his approval to join.

  Roma had been keen on Colombian midfielder Richard Ríos but were beaten to his signing by Benfica’s swift move. However the Giallorossi now remain focused on Flamengo’s Wesley as they continue efforts to strengthen Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad.
