West Ham handed a huge boost in signing their number one striker target before the window closes.

Everyone knows how bad West Ham’s luck has been when it comes to signing strikers. After Fullkrug’s long-term injury and Antonio’s car crash, Graham Potter is desperate to put that to an end.

With our own ExWHUEmployee reporting that Evan Ferguson is now the number one target, it seems like the club are finally looking for a young, exciting forward to solve their problems.

Although his injury record is a huge concern, for me, he’s the best, realistic choice.

Thankfully, other reports have claimed that West Ham have a unique advantage in securing his signature ahead of the stiff competition. Ferguson is reportedly very keen on reuniting with Graham Potter, the man who gave him his Premier League debut.

Unfortunately, he has missed the last 7 games through injury, but if he can get over this before the window closes on February 3rd then it’s a gamble worth taking.
