Overview
- Gian Piero Gasperini said Evan Ferguson has had “a lot of chances” and must improve in performance and attitude, according to comments reported by Football Italia.
- Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that Roma could end the season-long loan next month, with a return to Brighton under consideration.
- Roma have recently used Paulo Dybala or Tommaso Baldanzi as a false nine despite Artem Dovbyk’s injury, limiting Ferguson’s minutes.
- Ferguson has one goal in 14 appearances for Roma, with only six starts, and injuries have also caused him to miss Ireland’s November internationals.
- Brighton’s shortage of strikers has been cited as a factor in recall talk, though neither club has announced any decision and replacement links for Roma remain speculative.
