Check out some of his best moments for Brighton.

The 20-year-old Republic of Ireland forward will be reunited with Graham Potter, the manager who handed him his senior debut at Brighton back in 2021.

Ferguson has struggled for game time this season, making just 15 appearances—11 of which have come from the bench. He has also spent recent weeks sidelined with an ankle injury but made his return on Saturday, coming on in the 73rd minute during Brighton’s humiliating 7-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.

His only goal this season—and his first since November 2023—came in a 2-2 draw with Wolves back in October.

West Ham are in need of attacking reinforcements, with Jarrod Bowen, Niclas Füllkrug, and Michail Antonio all currently sidelined through injury.

Ferguson will be hoping to rediscover the form he showed in the 2022-23 season under Potter, when he scored six Premier League goals and earned a nomination for the PFA Young Player of the Year award.

Frankie told us: "From a Brighton supporter, you have one support player there. I just hope he gets a good run of games to get his mojo back. He probably suits West Ham's style more than ours at the moment."

Paul, a West Ham fan, added: "A good signing. I just hope the fans don’t expect a superstar. He’s young enough to keep improving, but please give him time."

Bayern Munich 1 - 2 Inter Milan Inter Milan secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Allianz Arena. Author - Matt F Stadium - Allianz Arena The German side dominated the early stages, with England captain Harry Kane striking the post in the first half. However, it was Inter who broke the deadlock in the 38th minute. Marcus Thuram displayed exceptional skill to flick the ball into the path of Lautaro Martínez, who finished emphatically into the roof of the net with the outside of his boot. Bayern responded in the 85th minute through veteran forward Thomas Müller, who announced last week that he will leave the club this summer after a 25-year association. Müller converted from close range following a low cross from Konrad Laimer. Inter had the final say just three minutes later. A swift counter-attack culminated in Carlos Augusto delivering a precise cross, which substitute Davide Frattesi turned in from close ra...

Preston North End 0 - 3 Aston Villa Marcus Rashford broke his four-month scoring drought to send Aston Villa into the FA Cup semi-finals with victory over Preston at Deepdale. Author - Paul Woods Stadium - Deepdale After a few missed chances against the competition's last remaining Championship team, Rashford finally scored by tapping in Lucas Digne's cutback in the 58th minute. Five minutes later Rashford kept his nerve to send David Cornell the wrong way with his penalty after Morgan Rogers had been fouled by Andrew Hughes. These were Rashford's first goals since his double against Everton on December 1st   and they kept Villa's hopes alive of winning the FA Cup for the first time since 1957.  Preston battled hard but a clear gulf in class was only underlined by the absence through injury of first-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman and on-loan defender Kaine Kasler-Hayden, who was unable to play against his parent club. Once in front, Villa tightened their grip and...

Arsenal 2 - 1 Fulham Bukayo Saka wasted no time making an impact on his return from injury, scoring just seven minutes after coming on to help Arsenal secure victory over Fulham at the Emirates Stadium. Author - DJ Stadium - Emirates Stadium The England winger had been sidelined for 101 days but came off the bench in the second half with Arsenal leading 1-0. He quickly reminded everyone what they’d been missing, heading in Gabriel Martinelli’s flick at the far post in the 73rd minute. Mikel Merino had earlier put the Gunners in front after 37 minutes, his shot taking a deflection and nestling into the corner following Ethan Nwaneri’s cut-back. Fulham did manage a late consolation, with Rodrigo Muniz’s shot deflecting off William Saliba and wrong-footing David Raya in stoppage time. However, Arsenal held on for a crucial win, moving them to within nine points of league leaders Liverpool. READ MORE:  Premier League: 2024/2025 season READ MORE:  Arsenal score seven against P...
