Genoa are still looking for the right attacking reinforcement. And the profile is very similar to Evan Ferguson, Il Secolo XIX writes. According to the newspaper, the 21-year-old Irishman formerly of Roma remains a leading name, but Genoa are still weighing up the deal, with a loan agreement with Brighton yet to be finalised and time needed before the centre-forward returns to the pitch after ankle surgery.
