Potential Transfer to West Ham in the Works for Ferguson
As his current situation is unlikely to improve, Ferguson plans on leaving Brighton on loan during January – with Brighton seemingly supporting this decision. West Ham have expressed strong interest, while Newcastle United, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City (all Premier League clubs), Manchester City (Mc) Arsenal may all consider making offers; nonetheless West Ham remain most committed towards moving ahead with this transfer deal.
Brighton have set an estimated value for Ferguson of PS60m, signalling they might consider making him permanent if an attractive offer arrives. Ferguson only managed 269 minutes under Hurzeler this season while scoring only once; thus potentially impacting on his confidence levels; perhaps moving could provide the platform necessary to revitalise his career?
Ferguson may leave to gain more playing experience and showcase his abilities on a larger stage, potentially moving temporarily away as part of an overall plan to further his professional football career.
