Brighton and Hove Albion fans won’t be happy with Gary Lineker right now, as the Match of the Day pundit has urged Tottenham Hotspur to look at Evan Ferguson as a replacement for Harry Kane.
After coming through the ranks at his boyhood club and becoming Tottenham’s all-time leading goalscorer (GOAL), Harry Kane finally called time on his Spurs career last week.
The 30-year-old had been linked with Bayern Munich all summer, and a move eventually came to fruition with Kane joining the German giants in a deal worth a reported £100m plus add-ons (Sky Sports).
With attacking talents like Heung-min Son, Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski, Manor Solomon, and James Maddison, Spurs are not exactly lacking in the forward area despite losing Kane.
However, it is expected the Lilywhites will reinforce their front line at some point. Who they choose to replace Kane remains to be seen, with plenty of options mooted as possible candidates to fill those boots.

Could Evan Ferguson be the next Harry Kane?
Tottenham have been linked to Brighton forward Evan Ferguson in the past (Sky Sports), and now, Gary Lineker has added fuel to that particular fire.
Ferguson scored for Brighton at the weekend, prompting Lineker to tweet: “Evan Ferguson scores in Fergie time. He’s a born goalscorer. If I was in charge of recruitment at Spurs I’d take a punt on him as Kane’s replacement. Apologies to Brighton fans.”
The 18-year-old scored ten goals for the Seagulls last season (Transfermarkt). He recently signed a new contract with Brighton that will run until 2028.

Brighton just will not stop producing these top-quality players, and Ferguson will undoubtedly find himself at one of the bigger clubs in the league in the next couple of years.
Hopefully, that is Spurs. We should definitely be trying to sign him, as he has all the attributes one would want in a striker.
