Ferguson Passes West Ham Medical in Last-Minute Transfer Boost

Evan Ferguson has passed his West Ham medical, which will be a huge relief to all who were concerned about the forward’s fitness.

The Irish striker has been troubled by a foot injury for most of this transfer window, with Brighton head coach Fabian Hürzeler claiming the condition was a ‘mystery’ to the Seagulls’ medical staff.

However, Ferguson is now ready to officially join the Hammers until the end of the season from the south coast club having completed the formalities and fitness checks. The usual media shenanigans will be released tomorrow, and the big striker is expected to travel to Stamford Bridge to watch his new teammates play in tomorrow night’s Premier League fixture against Chelsea.

Ferguson will not be eligible to play. The first time Hammers fans are likely to see the big target man should be against Brentford on February 15th.

The forward was keen to join West Ham to link up again with his old boss Graham Potter in an effort to get first-team football. The 20-year-old will provide cover for the injured Niclas Fullkrug, who is expected to be missing until at least April, with Michail Antonio also unlikely to be available for selection anytime soon
