West Ham manager Graham Potter had prioritised signing a new striker, with Ferguson seen as an ideal addition to lead the line alongside Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus, and Lucas Paqueta. However, Chelsea’s late interest threatens to derail the Hammers’ pursuit, with the Blues also looking for attacking reinforcements.
- Chelsea have joined the race for Brighton’s Evan Ferguson, a key West Ham target.
- West Ham manager Graham Potter had hoped to reunite with Ferguson, who flourished under him at Brighton.
- Chelsea’s need for a striker has intensified, with Nicolas Jackson struggling for form.
- West Ham may offer Ferguson more guaranteed game time, which could work in their favour.
- At 20, Ferguson has shown promise but has struggled for consistency since his breakout 2022/23 season.
With just days left in the transfer window, Ferguson’s next move remains uncertain, but Chelsea’s late intervention could complicate West Ham’s efforts to secure the Irish forward.
