Ferguson impresses in training as potential Roma debut looms
Evan Ferguson is impressing his boss in training as he hopes for a loan debut with Roma.
The Albion striker kicked off his stint in Italy with a flurry of goals.
While things have settled down since then, he is said to be impressing boss Gian Luigi Gasperini.
Ferguson has not really caught the eye in subsequent fixtures against tougher opponents, including Everton.
But he is in the running for a role in the serious action.
Roma kick off their Serie A season on Saturday when Bologna visit the Stadio Olimpico.

Milan are keen on Artem Dovbyk, the Ukrainian centre-forward, with whom Ferguson is vying for a place.

Gazzetta Dello Sport reported: 'In these first weeks of work, Gasperini has alternated him with Evan Ferguson, the Irish striker who arrived from Brighton and who Gasp, including in training, likes a lot.'
Albion appear to have an array of potential departures before the transfer window closes, be it permanent or on loan.
Julio Enciso is among them and has been linked with various clubs as he races to get fit after knee surgery during the summer.
