Ferguson has scored seven Premier League goals in 22 appearances for Brighton so far, with six of those coming last year during his breakthrough campaign under Roberto De Zerbi.

Arsenal’s current striking options are extremely limited, with Gabriel Jesus yet again facing time on the treatment table for a knee injury he picked up just before the season began.

In the absence of Jesus Eddie Nketiah has taken over and the 24-year-old looked sharp in the Gunners first game of the season, scoring against Nottingham Forest in a 2-1 win.

Mikel Arteta also has Folarin Balogun at his disposal, but the USMNT star could be making a move away from Arsenal befrero the transfer window closes in the search for more regular game time.

Ferguson’s contract at Brighton doesn’t expire until 2028, so Arsenal could be forced to pay in excess of £100m for the Irishman if they look to make a deal next summer.
