The story of Irish striker Evan Ferguson at Roma has come to an end much sooner than expected. The promising forward's loan spell has turned into a disappointment due to serious health issues.
Details: According to insider Nicolò Schira, the player will require surgery on his left ankle. The operation and subsequent rehabilitation will take considerable time, ruling out any further appearances for the Giallorossi this season. As a result, it has been decided that Ferguson will return to Brighton.
The 21-year-old forward, who arrived in Rome with high expectations to bolster the attacking line, never truly managed to showcase his talent due to recurring injuries.
It should be noted that this season the Irish striker played 22 matches for the Roman club across all competitions, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists.
Reminder: Roma midfielder Paulo Dybala could continue his career in Argentina by joining Boca Juniors.
