Ireland striker Evan Ferguson joined West Ham on loan from Premier League rivals Brighton late in the January transfer window.

Graham Potter says he is “really happy” so far with Ireland striker Evan Ferguson.

The 20-year-old joined West Ham on loan from Brighton late in the January transfer window and has made four substitute appearances so far in the Premier League.

Some Hammers fans have expressed disappointment with the Meathman’s contribution so far, with Ferguson limited to just 90 minutes across his four cameo appearances.

He has yet to find the net in games against Brentford, Arsenal, Leicester and Newcastle, but Potter has urged supporters to be patient with Ferguson.

Potter is confident that there is more to come from the youngster that he introduced into the Brighton first-team during his time in charge at the South Coast side.

He said: “(Ferguson) is where we expected him to be when he came in.

“He came in as a young player who has had time out with injuries, to come and help the squad, and that’s what he’s done.

“He came on against Brentford and made a good impact, and he’s done well when he’s been in the games. He’s building himself up all the time, and we’re really happy with him.”
