The 21-year-old has started just 10 league games, scoring three times in Serie A, as well as a brace against Celtic in the Europa League. Ferguson is only on loan to Roma from Brighton, and manager Fabian Hürzeler recently spoke on the striker, saying: “He has the potential to help us as a club… Not it’s about him to show it”. Ferguson recently said he feels more settled in the Italian capital, but the forward could be swapping Rome for Celtic.
