West Ham Pushing to Sign Premier League Forward in January – Report
West Ham’s Strategic January Transfer Window Moves
West Ham United are reportedly setting their sights on Brighton striker Evan Ferguson in a bid to bolster their attacking options this January. This comes as the Hammers experience a shortfall in forward personnel due to injuries impacting key players like Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen. With the pressure mounting on manager Julen Lopetegui, the club’s management appears ready to invest in fresh talent to revive their Premier League campaign.
Potential New Additions
According to a recent article by Matt Law for The Irish Independent, West Ham have been proactive in drawing up a list of potential signings. Ferguson, alongside names such as Wolves’ Hwang Hee-chan and Middlesbrough’s Latte Lath, are thought to be on this list. Despite a challenging season with limited playtime at the Amex, Ferguson remains a hot prospect, with his potential availability on loan a tempting prospect for several Premier League clubs.
“West Ham would ideally like to sign players on loan this month,” Law notes, adding that the club has “already made an enquiry about Ferguson.” This indicates a strategic approach from the Hammers, looking to build squad depth without the immediate financial burden of permanent deals.
