Roma Move to End Evan Ferguson Loan Early, Target January Return to Brighton

Brighton's sign-off is required for an early termination prompted by his injury-hit, one-goal stint.

Overview

Roma have opened talks with Brighton to cut the season-long loan short, aiming to clear a forward slot before the January window.
Club figures view the move as a failed gamble after Ferguson scored once in 14 appearances and struggled to settle under Gian Piero Gasperini.
Brighton head coach Fabian Hürzeler has not ruled out recalling Ferguson, with the injury to Stefanos Tzimas affecting their calculations.
Roma are drawing up centre-forward options for January, with reports linking Joshua Zirkzee and other strikers such as Gianluca Scamacca, Arnaud Kalimuendo, Yuri Alberto and Giacomo Raspadori.
Ferguson joined on loan in the summer with a reported €35 million option to buy, which remains part of the existing agreement.
