John Wenham wants Tottenham to submit £50m bid to sign ‘Outstanding’ Brighton player
John Wenham has urged Tottenham to sign Evan Ferguson from Brighton.
The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose wants the North London side to make a £50million offer for the striker.
It comes after reliable Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe revealed via X (13 May) a list of number nines that the club are considering.
The list includes the likes of Ivan Toney, Santiago Gimenez and Viktor Gyokeres.
One player who wasn’t on the list was Ferguson, and Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes he should be.
“Those are all names I would expect to see on a list like that,” Wenham said.

“One player we aren’t hearing much about at the moment is Ferguson. I do just wonder if it would be wise to make a £50million offer to Brighton.
“Ferguson has had a quiet year, but for me his talent is undeniable. Around better players, he would continue to score.
“I think he’s an outstanding player and I reckon his quiet season will have brought his price down, which makes a deal possible.”

Supporters would be silly to write off Ferguson.
It wasn’t long ago that he was being linked with big-money moves.
He seems to have become something of a forgotten man after a quiet season, but he is still only 19 years old.
The potential is certainly still there.
If Tottenham could sign him in a cut-price deal, they could look back on the move as a stroke of genius.
