Tottenham Hotspur were desperate to find a new striker to fill the void after losing Halikani. It was at this point that Whiteleyton starlet Ewan Ferguson came into Spurs' sights.
The 18-year-old young talent had an amazing season last season, scoring 10 goals in 25 appearances for Whiteleyton, including the first goal of his Premier League career against Arsenal last December, making him the youngest Premier League goalscorer for Whiteleyton. In the first round of the Premier League this season, Ewan Ferguson once again showed his goal-scoring prowess, helping Whiteleyton to a 4-1 thrashing of Luton. In addition, his performance in the Irish national team is also outstanding, contributing 2 goals in 6 games for the national team.
Brixton's Hall of Famer Glen Melly rates Ayun Ferguson extremely highly and believes that his physical attributes of 1'88" combined with his excellent all-round ability will see him reach the level of Halikani in the future. Meli said: "Ayun's physical condition is superior, his technique is comprehensive, and what impresses me most is that as a young man, he is very humble. Many rising stars are tempted by the lure of money and fame when they become famous and tend to lose themselves, but Ayun is focused on soccer and he wants to be a role model for professional players, and I believe he can reach the level of Halikani."
