Chelsea have cooled their interest in the young Brighton striker

Brighton's young striker Evan Ferguson has made a dashing start to the current Premier League season, scoring six goals in 13 starts to the campaign. This has attracted the attention of more big-name clubs, who were keen to get their hands on him. But, as it happens, the player has a goal drought and that's where the interest ends.

So, Chelsea are holding out on Ferguson, as according to Simon Phillips, the Pensioners want to see an improvement in the 19-year-old striker's form before they make any concrete moves for him.

The London club wants to strengthen the cutting edge of the attack with a big signing, who also needs to be effective in attack, therefore they cannot afford to formalise another failed transfer.

At this rate, Mauricio Pochettino's team may lose a promising player, as despite a 15-match goalless streak, the Irishman is still interested in Arsenal, who will try to sign him in the summer.
