'I know the gaffer well' - Ferguson

Evan Ferguson spoke about hooking back up with "gaffer" Graham Potter after completing a loan move from Brighton to West Ham.

The 20-year-old Republic of Ireland striker made his Premier League debut under former Brighton boss Potter, aged 17.

“It feels good to be here. Seeing the stadium and being here today, I’ve got a very good feeling,” said Ferguson, who will wear the number 34 jersey.

“I can see and feel know how big West Ham United is. It was a big opportunity for me to come here. I know the gaffer well and look forward to working under him again.

“I want to come in and do my best for the club, score goals, and see where we get to.”

“He’s a player we obviously know very well," added Potter, "so I’m grateful to the board for bringing him in.

“He’s got plenty of quality attributes as a striker that we believe will benefit the group over the course of the coming months."
