West Ham United have signed Ireland centre-forward Evan Ferguson (20) on loan from fellow Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion for the rest of the season, the London club said on Monday.
Ferguson made his senior Brighton debut in 2021 under Graham Potter, who was appointed West Ham manager last month.
"It was a big opportunity for me to come here. I know the gaffer well and look forward to working under him again," Ferguson told West Ham TV.
Ferguson was sidelined for nearly five months last year with a cruciate ligament tear and an ankle injury in December then kept him out for over a month until he returned on Saturday in Brighton's 7-0 loss at Nottingham Forest.
West Ham, 15th in the table, visit sixth-placed Chelsea later on Monday.
