"I think Lewis Ferguson will go to the Premier League," he said. “I would love to see him at West Ham because he is a fantastic player.
"I do not want Declan Rice to leave but if he was I think Ferguson would be the ideal replacement for him. There has been so much talk about Declan and if he was to go I think the boy Ferguson is ready for the Premier League.
"He is only young and he is a good, tidy player. It is an eye-opener going to England but it would only benefit him.
"I think Lewis could fill his space. It is like for like. He is a young, energetic player who keeps the ball well, can tackle and he can get forward and score goals.
