Born on the 19th of October 2004 (now 20 years of age), Evan Ferguson is a product of the Irish Republic's youth development system. He is a formidable striker, a stalwart of West Ham United's front line, and unmistakable on the pitch standing 6ft 2in (1.88m) tall and weighing in at 11st 11lb (75kg). He's also shown his dedication to his national team, having represented the Republic of Ireland on the international stage.
Currently donning the number 34 jersey for West Ham United, Transfermarkt values Ferguson at a substantial €32.00m, which in British pounds is approximately £27m. Nearing the end of his contract with the Hammers, due to expire on the 30th of June 2025, the club may be looking at a valuable asset on their books.
The aspiring footballer cut his teeth at Bohemian FC, playing in the Premier Division of his home nation. Having joined the club as a trainee in January 2019, he made his first-team debut in 2020 playing in two league matches.
January 2021 saw Ferguson make the leap from the Rep. of Ireland to the English Premier League, transferring from Bohemian FC to Brighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee. His time at Brighton witnessed consistent improvements, seeing him make one first-team appearance in his debut season, 19 appearances with six goals in the following season, and then 27 appearances with six goals in the next. For the current 2024-2025 season, Ferguson has graced the pitch in 13 league matches and slotted one goal past dismayed keepers.
In February 2025, Ferguson made another ambitious move, this time transferring from Brighton & Hove Albion to West Ham United. So far, in the current 2024-2025 season, Ferguson has played eight league matches for the Hammers.
Ferguson's international career mirrors his ascendency in club football, having featured in the Euro Qualifiers 2022–2024 for the Republic of Ireland, where he scored two goals in six starts, and the Nations League 2024-2025, where he scored two goals in five starts and made three appearances as a substitute.
