Lewis Ferguson, who once was an unknown prospect in the transfer market, has now established himself as a charismatic leader at Bologna in no time. The midfielder’s physical relentlessness on the pitch, which he has consistently deployed to serve his team and coach, is what sets him apart.
Ferguson was spotted through videos by Sartori and his team. They saw a player capable of becoming an integral part of Motta’s starting eleven. Ferguson didn’t disappoint, and in just two seasons with Bologna, he’s been among the most decisive midfielders in Serie A.
His attributes extend beyond the pitch, particularly with the captain’s armband. According to Corriere dello Sport, Ferguson saw Bologna as his preferred destination, despite interest from Corvino’s Lecce.
The Rossoblù managed to secure Ferguson’s services for a paltry 2.1 million euros. Today, however, his value has skyrocketed. The club has set a figure no less than 30 million euros to even consider selling him.
This increase isn’t just down to his performances. He’s attracted significant attention from numerous clubs. From the Premier League to Serie A, many have shown interest in the player. His performances have seduced scouts not only from England but also from Juventus, Milan, and particularly Napoli. His soaring value is a testament to his steadily rising status in the football world.
