West Ham alert to opportunity for Ferguson deal as Brighton decide on transfer
West Ham are on alert to sign Evan Ferguson in the January transfer window with Brighton still set to make a decision on his future, according to Ben Jacobs.
The GiveMeSport journalist reported on X (1 January) that enquiries about the striker’s services have been made with his current club but have yet to make a decision.
The Seagulls are said to be in favour of insisting on an obligation clause if they do let go of the 20-year-old, who’s also wanted by Arsenal and Fulham, in the window.

As Julen Lopetegui looks to save his job at the London Stadium, the Spaniard is in need of attacking reinforcements, especially after the latest blow of Jarrod Bowen fracturing his foot.
Ferguson has just one goal from 12 appearances so far this term having struggled with injury but amid a period of poor form for his current club, a move could be what the highly rated youngster needs to revive him in the second half of the campaign.
Whether the Seagulls feel they can part ways is yet to be seen and with his contract running until 2029, currently there is no pressure to sanction an exit in the upcoming transfer window.
