Striker Evan Ferguson has joined the Italian club Roma on a season-long loan from Brighton.
The Republic of Ireland international is seeking to revive his career after injuries and a dip in form led to a lower standing at Brighton.
"Evan faced a challenging period over the past season and a half, which was disrupted by persistent injury issues," stated Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler.
"He is eager to play regularly, and this move presents an exciting opportunity in a competitive league with the chance of European football."
Ferguson spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham, where he made only eight appearances and started just once under then-manager Graham Potter.
Ferguson was seen on social media meeting Roma fans and signing autographs ahead of his move to the Serie A team.
The 20-year-old was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award after an impressive 2022-23 season, during which he scored nine goals and made his senior international debut.
However, he has managed to score only one goal at the club level since November 2023 and was unlikely to have a significant role under Hurzeler at the start of the current season.
