<\/p>\n

EVAN FERGUSON is destined for superstardom, but don’t compare him to Republic of Ireland legend Robbie Keane. The red-hot Brighton sensation, who will miss tonight’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Holland due to a knee injury, became only the fourth player in Premier League history to net a hat-trick aged 18 or younger last weekend when he struck a brilliant treble against Newcastle.<\/p>\n

But in the view of Keane’s former international strike partner Clinton Morrison, it’s premature to suggest Ferguson can match the exploits of Ireland’s all-time record goalscorer.<\/p>\n

Morrison said: “Keane was one of the best players I ever played with but Ferguson has got great qualities too and I just want him to be his own personality.<\/p>\n

“We’ve always looked at the Republic of Ireland and said ‘who’s going to fill Robbie Keane’s boots?’<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to compare the two because Keane’s record is better than some of the all-time greats at international level.<\/p>\n

“While Ferguson undoubtedly has the class to deliver, we must also manage expectations as he’s still only 18 which is a ridiculous age, really.”<\/p>\n

Brighton chief executive Paul Barber recently joked that it will be at least five years until they consider selling Ferguson after they recently negotiated the \u00a3115million British-record sale of Moises Caicedo to Chelsea.<\/p>\n

And if the so-called Big Six do come calling, Morrison believes they would have to splash huge cash to land a player who is far more than just a natural goalscorer.<\/p>\n

“I rate him so highly, there is no doubt that he is going to be a real star,” he added.<\/p>\n

“Roberto De Zerbi gets the best out of him at Brighton – he’s not just a No.9.<\/p>\n

“He can drop into pockets, link the play and for a big guy you’d look at him at first glance and question his touch but it’s absolutely magnificent.<\/p>\n

“He can do everything you want from a top-quality centre-forward. He can even drop into space as a No.10. Most importantly, he has no problems putting the ball in the back of the net. His finishing is already top-class.”<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for England, while Ferguson qualifies to represent the Three Lions via his mother, he is now unable to change international allegiances – something that does not appeal to him anyway.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When asked whether he’d consider the controversial switch, he told Sky Sports in May 2023: “No.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, my mam’s English so that’s where it probably comes from.<\/p>\n

“I’ve seen a few saying ‘Oh, will he? Will he?’ I can tell you now, it’s a no. I wouldn\u2019t be allowed back.\u201d<\/p>\n
