Lewis Ferguson emerges as Juventus 'target' with Italian giants considering swoop after brilliant Bologna displays

Lewis Ferguson has been linked with a sensational January move to Juventus after impressing for Bologna.

The former Aberdeen star moved to the Serie A club in the summer for a fee that could eventually rise to £3 million, with the Dons also believed to have secured a sell-on fee for the 23-year-old. After being suspended for the first two games for his new club, Ferguson has become increasingly influential in Italy and nailed down a first-team spot with new manager Thiago Motta.

The Scotland midfielder, included in Steve Clarke's squad for next week's friendly against Turkey, scored in consecutive games for Bologna against Lecce and Monza and he's been widely praised for his performances. Now reports in Italy have revealed Juventus are weighing up a move for Ferguson in January, either on a loan deal or a permanent bid.

Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri has reportedly been impressed with the Scotland international's displays and is considering a move. The two clubs enjoy good relations and Juve loaned their defender Andrea Cambiaso to Bologna on a season-long loan at the start of the campaign.

Ferguson is under contract until 2026 with Bologna and Italian reports have suggested Juve would have to triple what Bologna paid Aberdeen to land the four-times capped star.
