Evan Ferguson, a stripling of 21 years, draws the attention upon the footballing stage as a forward, predominantly plying his trade as a striker for Serie A's Roma. Hailing from the green pastures of the Republic of Ireland, the lad's stature of a hefty 6ft 2in (1.88m) and weighing in at 11st 11lb (75kg), makes him quite the formidable force up front. His label as the number 11 for his club further paints a vivid picture of his prowess. In addition, the young buck seamlessly carries his national colours, representing the Republic of Ireland on international turf.
The worth that he commands is quite striking, with a current market value rounding about £21m, according to Transfermarkt.
Ferguson's journey in this captivating sport of ours took its first promising steps in January 2019, when he joined Bohemian FC of the Premier Division in his home country, the Republic of Ireland. His debut season in 2020 witnessed him wearing the club's colours in two first team league matches. His talents, however, soon beckoned to larger challenges, as he was transferred to Brighton & Hove Albion of the Premier League in January 2021, for an undisclosed fee.
England bore witness to his growth as a player, as Ferguson demonstrated his abilities amid the blues of Brighton & Hove Albion. The 2021 - 2022 season saw him making a singular appearance, whereas the following season, 2022 - 2023, witnessed a spike with 19 appearances and six goals to his name. The following season, 2023 - 2024, saw a further increase in appearances to 27 with an equal number of goals as the previous. However, in the 2024 - 2025 season, he made 13 appearances, finding the back of the net just once.
His services were briefly loaned to fellow Premier League club, West Ham United, in February 2025, where he made eight appearances. With the expiration of his loan deal in June, Ferguson returned to Brighton & Hove Albion for the remainder of the season.
In July 2025, Ferguson set foot upon Italian soil, signing a loan contract with Roma. In the ongoing season —2025 - 2026— he has graced the pitch on 16 occasions, netting thrice.
His international journey includes sterling performances in World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026 for his homeland, scoring thrice in four starts, similar contributions reflecting in Nations League 2024 - 2025, with two goals from five starts and three substitute appearances, and the Europa League 2025 - 2026 for Roma, scoring another two goals in two starts and three substitute appearances.
