Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has not ruled out a loan transfer for Ireland striker Evan Ferguson this month - once he has regained full fitness after an ankle injury. 

The 20-year-old is expected back in training this week but has scored only once in 12 Premier League appearances this season, 10 as a substitute.
