However, Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur are leading the race for his signature, according to a report on the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-lead-january-transfer-chase-21193474).

The 19-year-old’s current deal with the Baggies expires at the end of the season and he is stalling on signing a new five-year deal.

He has emerged as a key member of the West Brom squad this term but could end up leaving for free in the summer.

### READ CRYSTAL PALACE VERDICT

Ferguson is one of the most talented youngsters in English football at the moment.

Palace don’t possess the attraction that Spurs do, but he is more likely to be more involved with the senior squad at Palace than in north London.

Roy Hodgson should act quickly and make an offer to the youngster before Jose Mourinho and co waltz in a hijack the move.
