Brighton and Hove Albion striker, Evan Ferguson, has been linked to the club’s remoteness in recent weeks.
Chelsea and West Ham United are interested In achieving his signature this month. The 20-year-old is considered one of the best attacker talents in the league and could show a long-term quality addition for both clubs.
The popular Pundit Paul Merson has urged the striker to join -West Ham instead of Chelsea. Merson believes that the 20 -year -old striker would not start regularly by the Blues and must play regularly at this stage of his career.
West Ham could be able to provide you this opportunity. Hammers have a desperate need for a quality striker. The 20 -year -old could get extensive opportunities in West Ham and it is left to see if the London can make the agreement.
In the meantime, Chelsea could also use more depth in the attack. However, Merson believes that Ferguson is likely to be a backup option for Nicolas Jackson if he joins Chelsea. It remains to see where it ends.
“Evan Ferguson plays West Ham.” said Merson. “Don’t play Chelsea.
“With him, he needs to play and if he goes to Chelsea, he plays behind Jackson. If he goes to West Ham, he goes directly to the team.
“I like it. When he first entered Brighton’s team, he was prominent and had some injuries.
“Then you have to find solutions and then people talk about you and then become harder.
“People are free and good success continue to improve and improve. You will have to do this.
“If you remain free of injury, it would be a good signing for West Ham.”
West Ham needs a striker
West Ham signed Niclas Fullkrug at the beginning of the season and German has not been able to meet expectations. His actions have been bewildering and he has also fought with injuries. Signing a striker should be a maximum priority for West Ham before the window is closed.
