ahead of the transfer deadline, which has sparked interest from Premier League rivals.

Paul Merson urges Evan Ferguson to pick West Ham over Chelsea
Paul Merson, speaking on the Sky Sports Transfer Show, is adamant that Evan Ferguson should pick the Hammers over the Blues.
ꦑThis is because Ferguson would likely be back-up to Nicolas Jackson at Chelsea, while West Ham are likely to make him a regular starter from the off.
▨“Evan Ferguson plays at West Ham,” said Merson. “He doesn’t play at Chelsea.
ꩵ“With him, he needs to play and if he goes to Chelsea, he plays behind Jackson. If he goes to West Ham, he goes straight into the team.
🍌“I do like him. When he first got in the Brighton team, he was outstanding and them got a few injuries.
♒“Then you have to come up with solutions, and then people talk about you and then it becomes harder.
✃“People get a free hit and then the good ones keep on improving and improving. He will have to do that.
ಞ“If he stays injury-free, he would be a good signing for West Ham.”
What Ferguson could bring to West Ham
🏅Gary Lineker previously compared Ferguson to Erling Haalandౠ because of his physicality, strength, eye for goal and composure.
🦹Lineker said: “He’s got it all, hasn’t he? You never know really completely with young players as things can happen in your life or injuries.
💝“But if he gets a fair run and he’s got the right attitude, which he looks like he’s got on the pitch, you can never be sure, and hearing him in his interviews.
🍌“His movement, his finishing… he’s got a tiny hint of Haaland. He’s a big lad, strong, quick, good finisher who looks unfazed by everything.”
