Evan Ferguson has received high praise from the Premier League’s record goalscorer.
Alan Shearer told Match Of The Day viewers he loves everything about the teenage Albion striker.
Ferguson scored in the 4-1 win over Luton and also hit the post with a curling effort.
Shearer, who scored a hat-trick on his top-flight debut at the age of 17, sidestepped a question from Gary Lineker as to whether Spurs should move in for Ferguson after selling Harry Kane.
But he said: “I love everything about him, what I’ve seen.
“The hold-up play, his desire to get into the box, his strength. Very impressive.”
Fellow pundit Micah Richards also picked out Ferguson, 18.
Richards said: “They have got some young talent.
“Ferguson, Joao Pedro and Adingra were outstanding.
“All on the scoresheet, 21 and under.
“But Ferguson is going to be a real star.
“There is something in his play. He is so mature, the way he links up, the way he takes his chances.
“Everything about him, I love. He’s natural.”
