Anton Ferdinand Placed On Transfer List
-
West Ham defender Anton Ferdinand has been placed on the transfer-list, according to the Daily Mirror.
Hammers boss Alan Curbishley has reportedly put his former England under-21 centre half up for sale as part of his summer clear-out, as he aims to overhaul his squad in order to challenge for a top six position next season.
The Irons have set an asking price of just under £5 million for the brother of Manchester United star Rio, with Curbishley including Ferdinand in his clear-out due to his high wages, and the need to generate funds if other players are to be brought in.
Despite being a regular in the West Ham side last season, Ferdinand has struggled to win over his club boss who had earlier cast doubts about his future in the team.
The surprise move should interest a variety of Premier League clubs, but reportedly Tottenham Hotspur, who have had a bid turned down for the 23-year-old in the past, are set to be encouraged to make another move for him with the likes of Younes Kaboul and Ricardo Rocha set for the exit door in future weeks.
Tottenham’s Spanish boss Juande Ramos is still keen to strengthen the defensive area of his team despite signing the likes of Jonathan Woodgate and Alan Hutton in January, and has already been linked with the likes of Richard Dunne of Manchester City and Cata Diaz of Getafe in recent days.
Ferdinand has made 163 career appearances for West Ham since making his debut for the club in 2002. -
