The Brighton striker and Hof Albion Evan Ferguson have been linked to the club in recent weeks.
Chelsea and West Ham United are keen To secure his signature this month. The 20 -year -old is one of the finest offensive talents in the league and can prove that it is a long -term addition to both clubs.
The famous Pundit Paul Merson urged the attacker to join West Ham instead of Chelsea. Merceon believes that the 20 -year -old will not start regularly for the Blues and needs to play regularly at this stage of his career.
West Ham can be able to provide him with this opportunity. The hammers are in urgent need of quality striker. The 20 -year -old can get great opportunities in West Ham and it remains to see whether the London residents can make the deal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea can use more depth in the attack as well. However, Mercun believes that Ferguson is likely to be a backup option for Nicholas Jackson if he joins Chelsea. It remains to see where it ends.
“Evan Ferguson plays in West Ham,” Merceon said. “He does not play in Chelsea.
“With him, he needs to play, and if he goes to Chelsea, he plays behind Jackson. If he goes to West Ham, he will go directly to the team.
“I loved him. When he arrived in Brighton for the first time, he was great and got a few injuries.
Then you have to reach solutions, then people talk about you and then it becomes more difficult.
“People get free success and then continue to improve and improve. They will have to do so.
“If he remains free from injuries, he will be a good signature on West Ham.”
West Ham needs an attacker
West Ham signed Niklas Volcrov at the beginning of the season and the Germans were unable to upgrade the level of expectations. His performance was disappointing, and he also struggled with injury problems. The striker should be a top priority for West Ham before the window closed.
