The medical tests from Evan Ferguson confirm his readiness for his loan transfer from Brighton to West Ham United. The Hammers have acquired Ferguson on loan through March 2023 while they pay his entire pay at every match.
The contract contains both a base fee and reward-based benefits that extend to extra payments if West Ham achieves its survival goal.
The superb play that earned Ferguson widespread acclaim after an amazing beginning has brought numerous Premier League teams into consideration for his signature.
The decision to choose West Ham as his next club stemmed mainly from the potential meeting of minds between Ferguson and Graham Potter since their time together at Brighton.
Evan Ferguson Joins Brighton On Loan
Tottenham showed interest yet West Ham submitted an offer which successfully convinced the striker to join their squad.
His athletic career took off dramatically after he scored three goals against Newcastle United when he was only 18 years old which made fans compare him to a youth Alan Shearer as they anticipated his future performance.
The youngster suffered a setback when he spent half a year recovering from ankle injuries which delayed his developmental progress.
The injuries served as major obstacles to his opportunities at Brighton as manager Fabian Hurzeler provided him with only two starts in Premier League matches during this season.
The West Ham transfer arrives for Ferguson during a strong market competition for his signing rights. Bayer Leverkusen deeply pursued Ferguson as a substitute for Victor Boniface until their planned transfer to Al Nassr failed so they abandoned their pursuit for him.
The timely acquisition by West Ham led to the potential signing of their promising talent through a direct loan agreement.
West Ham United failed to finalize any of their other scoutings, which included Celtic’s 18-year-old Daniel Cummings and Lorient forward Eli Junior Kroupi, who just scored his tenth goal despite offering the £30m bid.
All attention follows Ferguson during his West Ham debut as fans wish he would use his new playing opportunities to become a leading Premier League player.
