Evan Ferguson, uniquely born on 19 October 2004 in the Republic of Ireland, currently masters his craft within the ranks of West Ham United, primarily finding his place as a forward, dominating the striker position. A colossal figure on the pitch, Ferguson towers at an imposing height of 6ft 2in (1.88m) and weighs in at 11st 11lb (75kg). Any defender taking on Ferguson would easily recognise him by the number 34 emblazoned on his jersey. His skills aren't confined solely to the local leagues, his abilities have been recognised on a global scale, leading to his representation of the Republic of Ireland on the international field.
Noted for his robust capabilities as a forward and ever-increasing value on the football field, Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value as a hefty £34m, as is available via their comprehensive database at www.transfermarkt.com. Entering the twilight of his current contract, West Ham United is set to part ways with Ferguson's contract due to come to an end on 30 June 2025.
Before cutting his teeth on the field for West Ham United, Ferguson's trajectory to his current club was a winding one. In January 2019 he embarked on his professional journey with Bohemian FC in the Premier Division in his home country. The debut season of 2020 saw him graced the field for two league fixtures. After two years of honing his skills with Bohemian FC, Ferguson set his sights on England's shores, transferring to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League for an undisclosed fee in January 2021.
His tenure in Brighton & Hove Albion offered three fulfilling seasons with increasing influence on the field. Slatered over the seasons from 2021 to 2024, Ferguson graduated from a single appearance in the first season to 19 appearances with six goals in the following season. He continued to flourish with 27 appearances in the season of 2023-2024, culminating in an identical goal tally of six. The current season, 2024-2025, has observed 13 appearances to his credit, alongside 1 goal. In February 2025, Brighton & Hove Albion navigated this raw talent to its Premier League counterparts, West Ham United, under a loan agreement. The current season at West Ham has been adorned with 5 further appearances by Ferguson.
His progressive ascendancy on the international stage has been undeniably noticed. During the run of Euro Qualifiers from 2022 - 2024, Ferguson was successful in contributing two goals from six starts for the Republic of Ireland. He further continued his form in the Nations League 2024 - 2025, scoring once from seven appearances, four of which were as a start.
