• Ireland striker to be reunited with Graham Potter
• Brighton see bids for Sunderland’s Watson rebuffed

West Ham have agreed to sign Evan Ferguson on loan from Brighton until the end of the season. The striker is set to undergo a medical before moving to the London Stadium for a reunion with Graham Potter, who gave the 20-year-old his professional debut.

Ferguson played for Potter at Brighton and will provide a boost to the new West Ham manager’s attacking options, while also having the opportunity to play regularly. West Ham have been in the market for a new forward after losing Michail Antonio and Niclas Füllkrug to injury.
