Fulham have reportedly been linked with a summer move for 24-year-old Scottish midfielder Lewis Ferguson.
A report from Calciomercato has claimed that Fulham are keen on signing the 24-year-old midfielder Lewis Ferguson, who has done quite well for Serie A club Bologna this season.
The Scottish midfielder has six goals and five assists across all competitions, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the West London club. Fulham have looked quite vulnerable going forward, and they need more quality in the final third.
The Cottagers need to bring in a player who can create goalscoring opportunities and find the back of the net as well. Ferguson can operate as the central attacking midfielder, and he will help create opportunities for his teammates.
He plays a similar role to that of Andreas Pereira, and it will be interesting to see if Marco Silva decides to replace the former Manchester United midfielder. While Pereira has done reasonably well since moving to the London club, his end product has been quite underwhelming.
It remains to be seen whether Fulham come forward with a concrete proposal to sign the Scottish midfielder in the summer. Bologna will not want to lose a key player for cheap. So, they have slapped a €20 million price tag on him.
Lewis Ferguson could fancy Fulham transfer
The opportunity to play in England could be an attractive proposition for the Scottish midfielder, and a move to Fulham will be an exciting opportunity for him. The West London club have played impressive football this season. But they have not been able to grind out the results because of the lack of quality going forward.
Signing a quality playmaker and a reliable finisher should be a top priority for Fulham at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see if they can get the necessary reinforcements in the summer and push for a top half finish next season. The Cottagers have also shown interest in other midfielders, including Callum O’Hare.
Meanwhile, Ferguson is entering the peak of his career and opportunity to test himself against the best players in the Premier League can be hard to turn down. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few months.
