Born on 19th October 2004, Evan Ferguson, an Irish forward recognised for his proficiency as a striker, is known for his imposing height of 6ft 2in (1.88m) and solid weight of 11st 11lb (75kg). Currently, he dons the number 11 jersey and consistently performs for Roma. Apart from club commitments, he also has international experience representing the Republic of Ireland national team.
Ferguson kickstarted his professional football venture in January 2019, with Bohemian FC in the Premier Division in his home country. Although it was his debut season, he took part in two first team league matches. After an invaluable stint, in January 2021, he transferred to Brighton & Hove Albion, the Premier League in England, for an undisclosed fee. Proving his mettle, he made his mark with 19 appearances and six-goal contributions in league matches during the 2022-2023 season. His performance remained consistent even in the following season with 27 team appearances and six goals added to his tally.
Towards the end of his run at Brighton & Hove Albion, a dip in form was evident with one goal contribution across 13 league matches during the 2024-2025 season. Nevertheless, he was loaned to West Ham United in the same league in February 2025. Despite limited opportunities, he made 8 appearances for the team. On expiry of his loan term in June 2025, he was recalled back by Brighton & Hove Albion. However, a subsequent loan deal saw him move to his current club Roma in Italy's Serie A in July 2025.
His current market value is estimated at approximately €25.00m, equivalent to around £21.4m (Transfermarkt). His journey so far in the ongoing 2025-2026 season at Roma witnessed 10 team appearances and a goal in league matches. Additionally, he has shown promising prospects on the international scene with significant contributions in various tournaments. These include the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024-2026 with three goals in four starts, Euro Qualifiers 2022-2024 registering two goals in six starts, and Nations League 2024-2025 with two goals in five starts including three appearances as a substitute. His outstanding performance also extends to the Europa League 2025-2026 for Roma, where he scored two goals with two starts and three substitute appearances.
