Pep Guardiola is reportedly considering Brighton's Evan Ferguson as a potential solution to City's recent struggles, according to Transfermarkt.
The reigning Premier League champions have faced a difficult run of form, and the 20-year-old striker could provide the fresh attacking spark they need.
Ferguson has fallen out of favour under Brighton's manager, Fabian Hurzeler, and this lack of confidence appears to have affected his performances, with the Irish forward netting just once so far this season.
As City weigh up the possibility of signing Ferguson, their Manchester rivals, United, are also said to be keeping a close eye on the situation, viewing him as a potential replacement for Marcus Rashford.
The 27-year-old English winger has revealed he would be willing to take on a new challenge after being left out of the Red Devils' squad that beat City in the Premier League this past weekend.
The reigning champions, meanwhile, did not replace Julian Alvarez after his move to Atletico Madrid at the end of last season.
Alvarez did an impressive job in filling in for Erling Haaland at times in the 2023/24 campaign, though he was also used in different roles.
