AC Milan are watching West Brom fullback Nathan Ferguson.

The Sun says Milan were shock VIP guests at Wigan on Wednesday to run the rule over fullback Ferguson.

French side Marseille and fallen German giants Hamburg also sent senior scouts to the clash.

The Baggies babe, 19, will be out of contract in the summer — when he would also attract attention from Tottenham and Crystal Palace.

Milan are one of several sides looking at taking Ferguson on the cheap because the fee would only be training compensation next summer.

Worryingly for Albion, Ferguson and his adviser can sort out terms at the start of January.
