Bobby Zamora sends message to Evan Ferguson as West Ham deal done
Bobby Zamora has wished Evan Ferguson well after confirming his loan to West Ham on deadline day.
The Republic of Ireland international completed his switch to the London Stadium on 3 February after being linked with a move throughout the winter window.
Now Graham Potter has got his man and the 20-year-old has taken to Instagram (3 February) to share his excitement over joining the Hammers.
In response, former Irons striker Zamora said: “Good luck pal.”
Bobby Zamora sends message as Evan Ferguson joins West Ham
It is certainly a positive to see one ex-Hammers striker reaching out to the newest addition with the hope of the youngster hitting the ground running in East London.
The Irishman has struggled for regular minutes at Brighton in recent months, partially due to injury and partly down to a lack of trust from Fabian Hurzeler.
The Irons will be hopeful that injuries don’t dampen the excitement around the forward, who certainly won’t suffer from a lack of faith from Potter.
Ferguson can’t feature against Chelsea on Monday (3 February) so he will have to wait until 15 February to make his debut, but fans will suggest that it is worth waiting.
After losing both Niclas Fullkrug and Michail Antonio to lengthy injury concerns, the Irons have gone without a high-quality, recognised striker in recent weeks.
As a result, the ex-Bohemians ace will likely come straight in while looking to make a name for himself in the capital.
