Ferguson set for medical before loan move to Roma

Before joining the Italian side on loan, Brighton striker Evan Ferguson will undergo a medical at Roma.

Ferguson’s career is attempting to resurrect after suffering from injury and poor form caused him to drop down the Seagulls pecking order.

He signed for West Ham on loan for the second half of the previous season, but he only made eight starts and made just one start for the club.

After signing Tammy Abraham from the Republic of Ireland on loan at Turkish club Besiktas, Roma have been in talks with Brighton.

Ferguson met Roma fans and signed autographs before moving to the Serie A side, according to a photo he shared on social media.

Following a stellar 2022-23 campaign, which included nine goals and his senior international debut, the 20-year-old was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
