Injury to Zhongyong! He scored double goals in the Premier League at the age of 18 and is now facing a return on loan in Serie A

In the new season, Roma is making great progress under the leadership of new coach Gasperini. After 7 rounds of Serie A, it has accumulated 15 points and is tied for second in the league, only 1 point behind the leader AC Milan. Under Gasperini, Roma's defense has reached the top level of the five major European leagues, conceding only 3 points in 7 games, and its defensive efficiency is second only to Arsenal. However, Roma's offense was stagnant, scoring only 7 goals in 7 rounds of Serie A, ranking 10th in Serie A.

The main reason why Serie A's offense is not smooth is that the center players cannot find shooting boots. In Gasperini's current offensive lineup, the center position is occupied by Dov Bik and Evan Ferguson, but the two have only scored one goal in Serie A since the start of this season. Especially Evan Ferguson, who was on loan from the Premier League, played 6 times, including 3 starts, with no goals and only 1 assist. According to "Gazzetta dello Sport", Roma plans to terminate Ferguson's loan contract early and they hope to introduce Manchester United forward Zirkzee in the winter window to supplement the striker.

For Evan Ferguson, this is undoubtedly bad news. Evan Ferguson, who is only 21 years old this year, can be said to have become famous at a young age. As early as 2023, 18-year-old center Evan Ferguson scored more than 10 goals in the Premier League. And he also became the first young player after Rooney to score 10+ goals in the Premier League in a natural year.

The outbreak of Evan Ferguson has attracted the attention of many Premier League teams. With a height of over 1.88 meters, coupled with excellent physical fitness and strong awareness of grabbing points, he has all the conditions to grow into a perfect center. And his German transfer price soared directly from 1 million euros to 65 million euros, keeping pace with the then Brighton midfielder core McAllister. Teams such as Chelsea and Manchester United have expressed interest in him, but Brighton directly marked a sky-high transfer fee of 100 million euros to scare away these potential buyers.

But in the 23-24 season, Evan Ferguson suffered a knee injury in the Premier League, which affected his rapid rise. That season, Evan Ferguson only made 15 appearances, including 4 starts, and his number of goals dropped to 1 goal. Last season, after returning from injury, Evan Ferguson was loaned to West Ham United by Brighton. However, he made only one start in 8 appearances and did not score any goals. In this case, Brighton chose to continue to rent him out in this summer window and move to Serie A team Roma.

When the two parties signed the loan contract, Brighton insisted on asking Rome to agree to sign a buyout contract of 38 million euros. Now, Roma has regretted renting Evan Ferguson, and they hope to return the player early in the winter window. In Evan Ferguson, we once again saw the story of Zhongyong being injured in football. From scoring 10 goals in the Premier League at the age of 18, being priced at a whopping 100 million euros by Brighton, and now failing to rent out for two consecutive times, 21-year-old Evan Ferguson's confidence will inevitably be greatly affected.
