Report: Palace are lining up a bid for West Brom right back

Nathan Ferguson

Crystal Palace are lining up a swoop for West Bromwich Albion defender Nathan Ferguson.

The Eagles have previously been linked with the 19-year-old but the Daily Mail reports there is fresh interest.

Palace sold Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Manchester United for £50million in the summer but were unable to find a replacement right back.

Ferguson used to play at centre half but has impressed Baggies boss Slaven Billic in both full back positions.

The Telegraph claims West Brom are in talks to offer the England U20 international a new five-year contract to ward off suitors.

They are currently top of the Championship and will want to keep their star man as they bid for a return to the Premier League.
