dailyrecord.co.ukLewis Ferguson is set to sign a new one-year deal at Bologna, according to a report.The Scotland star has returned from a serious knee injury suffered back in April that ruled him out of Euro 2024, coming off the bench to make his Champions League debut in Tuesday's 1-0 home defeat to Monaco after appearing for the last 10 minutes against Leece in Serie A three days earlier.
