Evan Ferguson, a Brighton striker, will join West Ham United on loan until the end of the season.
Potter, who gave Ferguson his senior debut at the club in 2021, brought him to the Hammers, who were in need of a striker this winter.
Ferguson expressed his excitement about the move, saying, “I can see and know how big West Ham United is.
It was a big opportunity for me to come here. “I’m delighted we’ve been able to bring Evan in on loan until the end of the season,”
Potter added, adding that he believes the deal will benefit the team going into the second half of the season. “He’s got plenty of quality attributes as a striker that we believe will benefit the group over the course of the coming months.
We’re excited to integrate him into the squad and see him in action in the weeks to come.”
Tottenham and Bournemouth were also in the running for Ferguson, while Chelsea were monitoring developments but he clearly favoured a return to fight under his old boss Potter who welcomed him in with open arms.
