West Ham have agreed to sign Evan Ferguson on loan from Brighton until the end of the season. The striker is set to undergo a medical before moving to the London Stadium for a reunion with Graham Potter, who gave the 20-year-old his professional debut.

Ferguson played for Potter at Brighton and will provide a boost to the new West Ham manager’s attacking options, while also having the opportunity to play regularly. West Ham have been in the market for a new forward after losing Michail Antonio and Niclas Füllkrug to injury.
