David Moyes Backs Himself to Transform Evan Ferguson’s Career at Everton
Everton manager David Moyes is reportedly keen on signing Evan Ferguson this summer in a bid to turn the Brighton striker’s career around. According to sources, Moyes “really backs himself” to develop a strong bond with the 20-year-old striker and help him rediscover his early-career form.
Ferguson’s career appears to be in a tailspin, having failed to hit the heights for both Brighton and West Ham. Despite his promising start, he has largely been restricted to substitute appearances for West Ham and has yet to score a Premier League goal.
However, Moyes sees potential in Ferguson and believes he can help the striker turn his career around. Sources suggest that Moyes is confident in his ability to develop a strong relationship with Ferguson and guide him back to form.
Everton are currently on the hunt for a striker, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin expected to leave Goodison Park this summer. Ferguson is reportedly one of several targets for the Toffees, who are preparing for their new stadium move.
According to reports, West Ham have little interest in signing Ferguson permanently, and the striker is likely to leave Brighton after a “difficult” 18 months. Everton are seen as a “good landing spot” for Ferguson, and Moyes’ interest in him could pave the way for a summer transfer.
The Toffees’ pursuit of a new striker has also led to interest in Ipswich star Liam Delap, with former Everton CEO Keith Wyness suggesting that a move to Goodison Park could be beneficial for the young striker’s career.
As Everton prepares for life without Calvert-Lewin, Moyes’ interest in Ferguson could signal a new era for the club’s striking department. With Moyes confident in his ability to transform Ferguson’s career, the summer transfer window promises to be an exciting time for the Toffees.
