Ferguson signed a six-year Brighton deal last year but has started for the Seagulls just once in the Premier League this season.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler recently ruled out Ferguson going out on loan for the second half of the season.
But Forest are said to be very keen on the 20-year-old, while Fulham and Leicester City are also reported to be keeping tabs on his situation.
Ferguson is currently behind Danny Welbeck, Georginio Rutter and Joao Pedro in the Seagulls' pecking order, but Hurzeler insists that opportunities will arise for the Bettystown man if continuing to work hard.
Hurzeler said: “Accept your role and make sure you bring yourself in the mood and the shape that, when you get the chance, you are ready.
“It is exactly that which I demand from Evan and also what I said to him. I never said anything to him about a loan or anything like this."
