Evan Ferguson says he is looking forward to scoring goals under Graham Potter again, after reuniting with his former Brighton manager at West Ham. Ferguson has joined the Hammers on a six-month straight loan deal from Brighton. West Ham have no option or obligation to make the deal permanent in the summer. The 20-year-old Ireland frontman broke through under Potter at Brighton but has fallen out of favour with the Seagulls.
His deadline-day arrival eases a striker shortage at West Ham following long-term injuries to Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug. “It feels good to be here,” Ferguson said. “Seeing the stadium and being here today, I’ve got a very good feeling.”. Ferguson added: “I can see and know how big West Ham United is. It was a big opportunity for me to come here. I know the gaffer well and look forward to working under him again.
“I want to come in and do my best for the club, score goals, and see where we get to.”. Potter has revealed his excitement at the prospect of working with Ferguson again. “I’m delighted we’ve been able to bring Evan in on loan until the end of the season,” he said. “He’s a player we obviously know very well, so I’m grateful to the board for bringing him in. “He’s got plenty of quality attributes as a striker that we believe will benefit the group over the course of the coming months.
