Brighton's Irish Forward Ferguson Seeks Roman Revival in Loan Move

METROPOLITAN CITY OF ROME, LAZIO, JUL 23 – Evan Ferguson moves to Roma to revive his career after injury setbacks and a disappointing loan at West Ham, becoming the first Irish player for the Italian club.

  • Evan Ferguson, a 20-year-old Republic of Ireland striker, completed a season-long loan move from Brighton & Hove Albion to Serie A club AS Roma on July 23, 2025.
  • Ferguson's career momentum stalled due to injuries and a six-month loan to West Ham with limited impact, prompting the move for more regular play and a fresh start.
  • Roma, recently appointed Gian Piero Gasperini as coach, offers Ferguson a strong league and European football, with optimism about Gasperini's history of reviving forwards.
  • Roma paid a £3 million loan fee without agreeing to a £37 million buyout clause, while Ferguson will wear the number 11 shirt previously worn by notable Roma players.
  • This loan presents Ferguson the opportunity to regain form in a competitive setting as Roma prepares for the 2025-26 Europa League group stages under Gasperini's guidance.
