Nathan Ferguson is something of a hero at The Hawthorns. The teenaged defender has very quickly become a fan favourite and in between fans lauding his displays and begging for him to sign a new deal he’s fast turned into one of the key players under Slaven Bilic.
Body on the line.
Brilliant, @Nathan6Ferguson! pic.twitter.com/dtHIpU2h1K

Against Preston North End on Monday night he was again at his brilliant best, and the Baggies tweeted a video of him putting in a sublime block on the goal line to deny an almost certain goal for the home side at Deepdale, which have cost the travelling side two points.
The versatile full-back has featured on both the left and the right of the back four for Slaven Bilic, and against Preston, he shone from the right-back role and did more than play his part. As a result of that, the fans have been quick to laud the 19-year-old on Twitter.
What should West Brom do about Ferguson's contract situation?
Offer him another long-term deal
Sell him on to a Premier League club in January

West Brom fans will be keen to see Ferguson stay for as long as possible, especially if he continues starring the way he did against Preston.
