Evan Ferguson set to join West Ham on loan

Ireland international Evan Ferguson is set to join West Ham on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old travelled to London this morning for a medical and will team up with his former boss Graham Potter, who gave him his Premier League debut in 2022.

Ferguson returned from an ankle injury to make an appearance as a second-half substitute in Brighton's 7-0 thrashing by Nottingham Forest yesterday.

But he has had few chances to impress under Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, and the recent return of Danny Welbeck has convinced Brighton to allow him to leave.
