Evan Ferguson, a striking prodigy from the Republic of Ireland, was born on the 19th of October 2004, making him a ripe young age of 20. Standing tall at 6ft 2in (1.88m), and weighing in at 11st 11lb (75kg), he's a formidable presence on the pitch, making him an ideal target man in the attacking third. His career so far has been UK-centric, primarily plying his trade as a striker for the high-flying Premier League outfit - West Ham United. The green, white and gold, however, have also had the pleasure of his representations on the international scene.
According to the trusty folks over at Transfermarkt, young Ferguson is already making waves in the football financial market, commanding an estimated reliable asset value in the region of £34m. It's worth noting that his contract with West Ham United is set to run until the 30th of June 2029, a tenure spanning an impressive 4 years and 5 months from today.
Ferguson's journey through the ranks started in earnest back in January 2019 when he joined Bohemian FC, a household name in the Premier Division in Ireland. The following season saw him break into the first team, making a total of two league appearances. His budding potential didn't go unnoticed as in January 2021 he caught the eye of Brighton, who subsequently ferried him across the Irish Sea to England in the Premier League for an undisclosed fee.
Over the course of his stint with the Seagulls, Ferguson made steady progress working his way into the first team. Starting from the 2021-2022 season where he made a single league appearance, to the following 2022-2023 season where he notched up 19 appearances, netting six goals. Recurring the following season with 27 appearances and an equal number of goals. The present 2024-2025 season has been somewhat more restrained with 13 appearances and a single goal to his name.
The current season has brought new opportunities, with a loan move to West Ham United in February 2025. His time at the Hammer's has been slightly subdued, yet to make an impact on the scoresheet or even the pitch for that matter. However, it's still early days and with his rising star, he's one to keep an eye on.
To add to the lad's burgeoning football CV, he's also made impressive strides on the international scene; representing the Republic of Ireland in the Euro Qualifiers 2022 - 2024, where he scored a respectable two goals from six starts. Further following up with a solid performance in the Nations League 2024 - 2025, netting a goal from four starts and two appearances as a substitute.
