Brighton's Evan Ferguson will have a medical with Italian side Roma with a view to joining the Italian club on loan.

The 20-year-old Republic of Ireland striker is attempting to rebuild his career after injury and loss of form resulted in him dropping down the pecking order with the Seagulls.

He joined West Ham on loan for the second half of last season but made only eight appearances and started just once under former boss Graham Potter.

Roma have been in talks with Brighton after earmarking Ferguson to fill the void left by Tammy Abraham, who is playing under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on loan at Turkish club Besiktas.
