Evan Ferguson is being lined up for a move to Bologna as Roma look to pull the plug on his loan deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brighton striker has struggled for consistency since joining the Italian giants in the summer.<\/p>\n

He has made 16 Serie A appearances, 10 of which have been as a starter, and has scored three goals.<\/p>\n

Boss Gianpiero Gasperini has publicly criticised<\/a> his performances, which cast doubt on his immediate future beyond the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

Evan Ferguson Wanted By Bologna<\/h2>\n

According to reports in Italy, Roma’s Serie A rivals are ready to take Ferguson off their hands if the club decide to terminate his deal.<\/p>\n

Ferguson’s future was left increasingly ominous on Sunday when he was an unused substitute in the 1-1 home draw with AC Milan.<\/p>\n

That is despite Roma falling behind on 62 minutes and their necessity to close the four-point gap on their opponents in the title race.<\/p>\n

Gasperini opted to replace new signing Donyell Malen with 18-year-old forward Robinio Vaz, which is further evidence that he doesn’t deem Ferguson as part of his plans in the future.<\/p>\n

The Roma boss would be looking to add one more striker before allowing Ferguson to leave, particularly as the Europa League knockouts await.<\/p>\n

Joshua Zirkzee remains an option<\/a>, but Manchester United’s change of manager in recent weeks put a hold on any deal.<\/p>\n

A move to Bologna would be on loan due to their financial constraints.<\/p>\n

They currently sit in eighth and are hoping to push for a European finish in the second half of the campaign.<\/p>\n

A Return To Brighton?<\/h2>\n

Ferguson’s career is heading into a quandary as he weighs up his next move.<\/p>\n

His stock has dropped dramatically since hitting the headlines as a teenager breaking through the ranks at the Amex Stadium and being linked with Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Injuries and a loss of form meant he failed to score a league goal in 12 months, which he finally ended in October by scoring against Cremonese.<\/p>\n

That also involved a disastrous six-month loan spell with West Ham.<\/p>\n

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler recently said that Ferguson \u201cremained an option\u201d for his team selection, but his quotes were non-committal.<\/p>\n

He\u2019d return to the Amex behind Danny Welbeck and Georginio Rutter in the pecking order, and another loan move may be in the offering.<\/p>\n

Celtic could be a likely destination for Ferguson and could be a prime opportunity for him to start scoring goals regularly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
