Tottenham showed ‘consistent’ interest in ‘special’ striker but he’s now joining West Ham
Tottenham Hotspur have struggled to get deals done for multiple targets in the winter window.
Ange Postecoglou’s side returned to winning ways against Brentford on Sunday, but they are still in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
The Spurs boss needs more help from the transfer market, and fans are hoping that their side can get one or two deals done on deadline day.
However, one Tottenham striker target will not be moving to North London.
Why Evan Ferguson has picked West Ham move instead of Tottenham
Evan Ferguson was linked with a move to several clubs since the transfer window began in January.
The Brighton and Hove Albion striker, hailed as ‘special’ by Jamie Carragher on , was viewed as one of the biggest talents in the Premier League a couple of seasons ago, but his stock has fallen over the last 18 months.
Despite that, TBR Football revealed that Ferguson was attracting interest from the likes of Tottenham, West Ham, Chelsea, Everton and also Arsenal.
West Ham were leading the race for Ferguson’s signature for over a week now, and the Irons have sealed the deal for him after he completed his medical on Sunday.
An announcement is now imminent, but the have revealed that Tottenham had been ‘consistent’ in their pursuit of Ferguson until he decided to join West Ham.
The reason behind the young striker’s decision was that a reunion with his old boss Graham Potter appealed to him more than any other move.
So, Tottenham, who had already missed out on the likes of Randal Kolo Muani and Mathys Tel, failed to land Ferguson as well.

Tottenham’s transfer priority on deadline day
Tottenham have been in need of reinforcements in attack and defence since the start of the window.
Kevin Danso was announced as a new Spurs player on Sunday after the North Londoners hijacked Wolves’ move to sign him.
You would think that their focus would turn to a new striker now, but Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Tottenham want another centre-back because Radu Dragusin’s injury is serious.
Axel Disasi is the player Spurs want, but the Chelsea defender prefers Aston Villa because Unai Emery’s side can offer Champions League football.
It remains to be seen if Tottenham can change his mind in the coming hours.
