As the Blues search for a new centre-forward, several targets have fallen through, with Jhon Duran set for Saudi Arabia and Ipswich’s Liam Delap unavailable until the summer unless Chelsea pay over £50m. Evan Ferguson, despite his injury history, remains an intriguing option. The 20-year-old Irish striker has netted 13 Premier League goals in 27 starts, showcasing his physicality and potential. A loan deal until the summer—particularly with an option to buy—could be a low-risk, high-reward move to add competition for Nicolas Jackson.

- A loan deal with an option to buy could be a smart, low-risk move.
- Ferguson has 13 goals and 2 assists in 27 Premier League starts.
