These West Brom fans have been discussing Crystal Palace’s alleged interest in Nathan Ferguson.
According to the Daily Mail: “Palace have also asked about West Brom’s highly-rated full-back Nathan Ferguson.” This was later relayed to these West Brom fans on Twitter via WBA Report.
Nathan Ferguson started his career in the Baggies youth setup, before being moved to the West Brom U23s in July 2017. However, just two years later in July 2019, Ferguson got called up to the Baggies senior side.
Here is what the West Brom fans had to say about Crystal Palace’s alleged interest in Nathan Ferguson:

Crystal Palace have enquired about the availability of Nathan Ferguson.
The 19-year-old was previously linked with Spurs but they’re now looking elsewhere.
Palace, however, are keen to sign Ferguson, whose contract expires in the summer.

He us going to do the same as Louie Barry, we will get £230k and this time next year he will be at Villa or Spurs.

Better he goes to an English club than abroad as we get more money for him that way

Sidways step as far as i am concerned. Why leave for a mediocre prem club?

I can’t blame the lad if he leaves. He has remained professional throughout.

Nathan Ferguson has played 20 times in the Championship for West Brom this season, scoring and assisting both once. The fans seem pretty split with their opinions, with some happy to see him go and others believing it’s a bad move for his career.
Crystal Palace??? Now that would show a total lack of loyalty…. and ambition

Staying with us would be far better for him, if he goes i hope he goes on to reach his potential no point keeping him if his heart not in it

Do you want Nathan Ferguson to stay?
Yes
No
What Do We Think?
With Nathan Ferguson playing 20 matches in the Championship for West Brom at just 19 years of age, we cannot really understand why Ferguson would want to leave.
If we were the 19-year-old, we would definitely stay with the Baggies and try to gain promotion with them, while also getting a healthy amount of game time.
