Joe Cole has urged Brighton<\/a> striker Evan Ferguson<\/a> to snub transfer interest from Arsenal<\/a> and instead join his old club West Ham<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n

Brighton have made the \u00a360m-rated Premier League star available on loan this month, according to The Telegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arsenal are considering a move for the Republic of Ireland\u00a0international<\/a> but Cole wants to see Ferguson turn down any approach from the Gunners.<\/p>\n

Cole is instead keen for Ferguson to join Graham Potter’s West Ham, who desperately need a striker following injury to Niclas Fullkrug.<\/p>\n

Speaking on The Dressing Room<\/a>, Cole discussed Ferguson’s future alongside fellow former footballers Carlton Cole and Wayne Bridge.<\/p>\n

‘What\u2019s the likelihood of West Ham outbidding Arsenal?’ Bridge asked.<\/p>\n

Cole said: ‘Listen, if I\u2019m his agent I\u2019m saying to him go to West Ham. You\u2019re not going to get into the Brighton team. <\/p>\n

‘You\u2019re going to take a step up and play, you need games, you\u2019re a young kid you need games, come and play for West Ham, it hasn\u2019t worked for Fullkrug yet, go there.’<\/p>\n

Ferguson has missed Brighton’s last three Premier League games due to an ankle problem.<\/p>\n

Even when fully fit, though, the Irishman is behind at least three others in Fabian Hurzeler\u2019s pecking order.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, desperate for more minutes, could now move on and there are a number of clubs who want him due to his age and potential.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old has conjured up 17 goals and five assists across 79 games for Brighton to date.<\/p>\n

He would almost certainly slot straight into West Ham’s XI, given that Fulkrug, Jarrod Bowen <\/em>and Michail Antonio are all currently ruled out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
