Evan Ferguson and Brighton – is there any way back?
Evan Ferguson's season-long loan from Brighton & Hove Albion to Roma is a pivotal moment in his career development. The switch to the Italian capital until next summer for the 20-year-old Republic of Ireland international striker, with the possibility of the move becoming permanent, could go one of two ways. Advertisement Everybody involved in the deal — the player, his representative, both clubs — will hope it works out the same way as it did initially at Roma for Tammy Abraham, the No 9 he is replacing at the Stadio Olimpico. After leaving Chelsea in summer 2021 as a 23-year-old, Abraham scored 17 goals in his first season in Serie A, while also helping Roma to win the inaugural UEFA Conference League and earning himself an England recall. His career has not hit those same heights since, however. An ACL injury in his left knee at the end of his second year in Italy cost him much of the 2023-24 season, before the last one was spent on loan to Italian rivals Milan, scoring only three times in 28 league appearances. The now 27-year-old joined Turkish side Besiktas, again on loan, at the start of this month — a transfer which will become permanent if certain conditions are met. His exit to Istanbul created the vacancy up front in the Roma ranks. If Ferguson hits the ground running along similar lines to Abraham four years ago, his confidence levels and prospects will be restored. Brighton will then get back a rejuvenated player at the end of a deal in which Roma have paid an initial loan fee of €3million and are covering his wages in full. Alternatively, a €37m (£32.2m$45.5m) buy option clause for Roma kicks in — a very healthy profit on a player signed to Brighton's academy from Bohemians in his homeland as a raw 16-year-old in January 2021. Do please note the 'if' at the beginning of that previous paragraph, though, because there is another scenario where his time in Italy is much gloomier. A continuing of Ferguson's downward spiral over the past 20 months — injuries contributing to irregular game time, the goals drying up and belief ebbing away — could be accompanied by a nosedive in the value to Brighton of a player who was being talked about as a £90m ($121.7m at current rates) prospect when he first broke through in the Premier League with six goals and two assists in 19 top-flight appearances in 2022-23. Advertisement In those circumstances, Ferguson would return to the Amex Stadium with the chance of re-establishing himself at his parent club further diminished and the likelihood of leaving next time for a club at a lower level than Roma and West Ham United, where he spent the second half of the last Premier League campaign on loan. The Irishman does not feature in the immediate plans of Brighton's head coach Fabian Hurzeler. That is self-evident from this move to Roma happening in the same month the German has lost Joao Pedro from his forward options for the new season, with the Brazilian's sale to Chelsea. The landscape could be different in a year's time if Ferguson's latest temporary exit goes to plan. 'For sure, he has a future at Brighton,' Hurzeler told The Athletic at the end of Brighton's training camp in Marbella, Spain, on Monday. 'I am very happy for him that we found a good solution, that he now has an opportunity to get game time. That is the most important thing for Evan. I still see a lot of potential, and I still see that he is a player for us for the future.' That switch to West Ham in January looked a logical step to re-energising the career of a player who became Brighton's youngest Premier League goalscorer against Arsenal on New Year's Eve in 2022 and the fourth-youngest to get a hat-trick in the competition's three-decade history, aged 18 years and 318 days, against Newcastle United the following September. The loan reunited him with Graham Potter, who had been his first senior head coach at Brighton, but Ferguson made just eight appearances under him for West Ham, just one as part of the starting line-up, and did not score any goals. 'It is most important that the player gets the game time, but it is also the responsibility of the player to make sure that he trains hard, to make sure that he is ready for the games,' Hurzeler said. 'We can't say to the other coach (signing him on loan) that he must play, that's his decision, but we had good talks with Roma. It is a good stage for him. He had a nice arrival. There were a lot of cheers for him and hopefully now he can bring his quality onto the pitch.' Ferguson was all smiles, signing autographs as he received a rousing reception from Roma fans at the airport as they welcomed him to Italy on Sunday, before he completed the medical and paperwork formalities of his move. What a reception for Evan Ferguson in Rome by the Roma fanbase The start of something special — Rep of Ireland Player Tracker (@reptracker) July 20, 2025 Even fresher in the minds of those expectant Roma supporters than Abraham's first-season exploits for their club will be the successes of Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay and Ferguson's Brighton team-mate Billy Gilmour in helping Napoli to the Serie A title last season after the Scotland international colleagues moved to Italy a year ago. Advertisement That increases the pressure to deliver on a young player who has three goals in 44 Premier League appearances since that hat-trick against Newcastle and who did not score for almost a calendar year between November 2023 and last October. Ferguson was in the middle of that goal drought when he made second-half substitute appearances under Roberto De Zerbi in both legs of Brighton's 4-1 aggregate defeat by Roma in the Europa League's last 16 in March last year. On the plus side, there is a good chance he will get the game time he needs under Roma's new manager Gian Piero Gasperini, who spent the previous nine years finding various levels of success at Atalanta, including winning the 2023-24 Europa League. Roma will be competing in the league phase of that same competition in the coming season after finishing fifth in Serie A despite a campaign of managerial turbulence — Daniele De Rossi was sacked in September with just four games played, replacement Ivan Juric left after two months for a Southampton side who already looked on course for relegation from the Premier League and a 73-year-old Claudio Ranieri had to be coaxed out of retirement in November to steady the ship. 'Evan had a challenging period across the past season and a half, and it has been one disrupted by niggling injury issues which haven't allowed him a run of games,' Hurzeler says in Brighton's announcement of the Roma move. 'He is over those injuries and has come back in great shape. Now he really wants to play regularly. This is an exciting opportunity in a strong league and with the prospect of European football.' A whole country is also keeping its collective fingers crossed for Ferguson as he makes this switch to the three-time champions of Serie A. He is still the golden boy for the Republic of Ireland's national team, with five goals in 22 caps since his senior debut as an 18-year-old in November 2022, as they target a place in the World Cup next summer from a tricky-looking group also containing two Euro 2024 sides in Portugal and Hungary. For the sake of all parties, but especially a young lad who has experienced a dramatic rise and fall, this is a move that needs to work.
