London rivals tried to steal striker from under West Ham’s noses.
The loan signing of Evan Ferguson is now expected to be concluded on deadline day. It’s a deal that’s taken the whole transfer window to conclude, with an injury he sustained cussing the delay.
While it seems to be all but complete at this stage based on what various journalists are saying, it didn’t always seem that way. Just a couple of days ago the deal seemed to be almost off, with London rivals Chelsea allegedly swooping in.
Obviously, this never ended up coming to fruition, but it just goes to show what a top player Ferguson is. Yes his injury record is of concern, but he’s also one of Europe’s most exciting young strikers. If he can stay fit then he will be an unbelievable addition to Graham Potter’s squad.
