Evan Ferguson set to link up with Graham Potter again at West Ham

West Ham have agreed a loan deal for Brighton striker Evan Ferguson until the end of the season, the PA news agency understands.

The 20-year-old is travelling to London for a medical and is set to 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 on Saturday.

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.
