Spurs want Ferdinand

Anton Ferdinand is only 22, but apparently, he has been chased by Tottenham since he was 20 years of age according to the Daily Mail. Now, Tottenham are ready to buy, West Ham are ready to sell and the player is ready to move – are you reading Real Madrid?

Juande Ramos wants to strengthen his defensive lines and, after failing to finalize a move for Manchester City captain, Richard Dunne, Ferdinand has emerged as his top target. Tottenham’s back-line has looked suspect this past season after constant injuries to Ledley King and the inconsistency of Kaboul. The media and fans are of the belief that £6 million Ferdinand could be the cure to Spurs’ defensive weaknesses.

If the transfer does go through, it might be seen as a message of intent from other mid-table clubs who will have seen Tottenham spend more than anybody else in England so far this summer. Modric, dos Santos and Bostock have so far completed deals with Tottenham as they look to regain their status as top our challengers.
