The Saints boss spoke recently about his intention to loan Ferguson to a lower league club for the second half of the season.
“Alex Ferguson is a top, top prospect,” he said. “Getting him games will definitely help his development.
“I’m not really fussed where he goes, it’s more about just getting competitive games.”
