Sunderland are just hours away from completing yet another summer signing. In a bid to bolster his backline, manager Roy Keane has had a bid for West Ham United defender Anton Ferdinand accepted. The bid is believed to be in the region of £8 million.
Anton Ferdinand’s career has taken a backseat to his older brother Rio’s. A few years ago, though, Anton was viewed as a fantastic prospect. Now, a move away from Upton Park may revitalize the still young defender. Roy Keane has the ability to turn a player’s career around, and Ferdinand may take heart in the fact that Djibril Cisse has already become a success story at The Stadium of Light.
Personal terms and a medical are yet to be sorted out, so keep your eyes on Premiership Talk for all the latest advancements in the Anton Ferdinand to Sunderland deal.
