Everton have made contact to sign Brighton forward Evan Ferguson on loan in the January transfer window, according to TBR Football.
Ferguson is understood to be available for a loan move in the winter window, having struggled for regular minutes under Fabian Hurzeler this term.
The Irish international has clocked up just 228 minutes of Premier League football in 2024/25 and started just twice, with his last appearance in the first XI occurring in Brighton’s 2-2 draw with Leicester on December 8.
Everton Keen on Evan Ferguson
Make initial contact for loan move
Everton, who appointed David Moyes as their new manager on a two-and-a-half-year deal, have yet to make any new signings in January but are anticipating a busy month under The Friedkin Group ownership.
Everton are likely to face competition for Ferguson from Premier League rivals, considering multiple clubs have been linked with the 20-year-old striker in the past few weeks.
According to GIVEMESPORT sources, the Irish forward has been pinpointed as a top target for West Ham and their new manager Graham Potter, with the Hammers now waiting for reassurances that Ferguson will be available for a loan deal.
Ferguson, who joined Brighton’s youth ranks from Bohemians in 2021, has made 59 Premier League appearances whilst with the Seagulls, scoring 13 goals and providing two assists.
