The 19-year-old Ireland international was the subject of transfer speculation before extending his stay at the Amex Stadium.
Highly rated striker Evan Ferguson has signed a new contract with Brighton and Hove Albion which ties him to the club until 2029.
The 19-year-old Republic of Ireland international has extended his existing deal with the Seagulls, amid reports that other Premier League clubs were tracking his progress.
Evan deserves this new contract and he has a very big future ahead of him,” Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi said.
Ferguson joined Brighton from Irish side Bohemians in January 2021 and made his first-team debut later that year in a Carabao Cup tie against Cardiff.
He has scored 15 times for the first team since then, having opened his account against Arsenal last December.
De Zerbi added later at his Friday press conference: “We can’t forget that Evan is a very young player and needs time to grow confidence and play, but I’m really happy for him and his new contract.
“He’s not complete as a striker yet. There is room for improvement but we’re lucky to have him in our team.”
