Brighton and Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson is reportedly available on loan this January. The 20-year-old has struggled for game time under new manager Fabian Hurzeler.
The Republic of Ireland international returned from injury in the middle of the campaign and has only started one Premier League game this term. He returned to find Danny Welbeck, Georginio Rutter, and Joao Pedro ahead of him in the pecking order.
Eager to regain his form and secure regular playing time, Ferguson, valued at €60 million by the Seagulls, is open to a loan move. West Ham United should seize this opportunity to acquire the promising young talent in our view.
The Hammers’ current striker situation is far from ideal. The club’s primary striker, Michail Antonio, has struggled for form and consistency this season. The signing of Niclas Fullkrug has been met with derision as the German international has barely been able to string successive appearances due to injuries.
West Ham need a long-term solution to their striker issue. They require a young, hungry forward who can consistently deliver goals. Ferguson fits the bill perfectly.
The Brighton striker possesses a combination of physicality, pace, and clinical finishing that could make him a valuable asset to the Hammers.
Despite barely accruing 150 minutes of playing time this season, he has opened his account for the season and followed it with another goal while on international duty. It is clear that with game time, he will find his rhythm and get back to being one of the most sought-after young strikers in the world. He has all the tools, and his potential is undeniable.
A loan move to West Ham could be the perfect platform to rediscover his best form and establish himself as a top-flight striker. He could be our long-term Antonio replacement.
The Hammers must act swiftly to secure Ferguson’s services. This could be a game-changing move for the club, as they aim to challenge for European places in the second half of the season.
