Evan Ferguson was Brighton's teenage superstar, De Zerbe's golden boy, the hat-trick goal scorer as a teenager in the Premier League
0:06
But now at just 20 years old, everyone's forgotten about him. So what actually happened
0:11
Just like Michael Richards, he burst onto the scene at just 18. He scored 12 Premier League goals in his first two full seasons, nominated for PFA Young Player of the Year
0:19
and De Zerbe even said that he had no obvious faults in his game
0:24
But then everything changed. Ankle surgery, glandular fever. A long recovery later, he missed key games and pretty much the whole of 24-25
0:33
And despite loans to West Ham, he just never really got back to sharpness. In that loan spell, he was under Graham Potter, the former Brighton manager
0:40
But still, zero goals, eight Premier League appearances, and just 14 minutes in those eight games
0:45
Potter was never really known at Brighton for getting the best out of the attackers anyway. Everyone has him written off like he's finished
0:51
Equalling Wayne Rooney's goal-scoring record as a teenager in the Premier League to being forgotten about seems insane
0:57
Tell us in the comments, can he find it again or is it all over at just 20 years old
