When Roberto De Zerbi was replaced by Hurzeler as Brighton's manager, Ferguson's playing time decreased, and he was eventually loaned to West Ham in January. Despite this, he only played in eight Premier League games and scored zero goals.

Despite this, Roma signed Ferguson on a loan deal with an option to buy next summer. However, his performance has been underwhelming, with just two goals in competitive games and limited touches in the opposition box.

Comparing Ferguson's numbers to his teammates, it's clear that he's not the only one struggling to score. Roma's other strikers, Artem Dovbyk and Paulo Dybala, have also scored only two goals each, while Matias Soule is their top Serie A goal scorer with four goals.

Roma's recent form has been affected by their lack of goal-scoring, and they've fallen from the top of the table to fourth place. The team's low-scoring record is a concern, with just 15 goals in 14 games.

According to Roma's coach, Gasperini, the team is willing to give Ferguson more time, but he needs to improve his performance on the training pitch. Ferguson still has time to prove himself, especially with Dovbyk out injured for the next few games.

Ferguson is still young and has a lot of potential, and a top-level European club with the right environment could help him reach his full potential.
