Evan Ferguson lit up Newcastle’s defence on Saturday as he scored a hat-trick to give Brighton a 3-1 win at the Amex.
Ferguson is only 18-years-old and already has established himself as the leading man for the leagues best attack.
He is a truly generational striker and has bagged four goals already this season in just four games.
This return sees him second in the golden boot race, behind the robot that is Erling Haaland.
However Ferguson is only 18 making his form all the more impressive and will be giving Brighton fans and the Irish population reasons to be excited.
His impressive hat-trick is what caught Ben Foster’s eye as he praised the incredible talent.
Phenomenal Ferguson is destined for the stars
Speaking on his TFFI on his YouTube channel, Foster could hold back his praise.
He was so impressed he produced a stat to emphasise how unheard of Ferguson’s talent is.
In the Premier League Ferguson has joined an exclusive group of just four players who scored a hat-trick aged 18 or under.
This stat is one Foster marks as ‘phenomenal’ before insisting that if anyone wants to buy him, £100m should be the price.
This is a sentiment shared by many, as the Irish international quickly becomes the leagues hottest property.
Ian Wright also heaped praise onto the youngster, saying he is fearless and belongs playing for one of the big six.
