Keegan To Challenge Villa For Anton Ferdinand!

Last updated : 20 June 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor

The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a £6million move to Tottenham in recent weeks, but the England-Under 21 international knows competition for places will be stiff at White Hart Lane this coming season.

Although he would prefer a London club, it is believed Ferdinand would be happy to follow his brother Rio's advice and move north for a career move.

Although some West Ham fans we spoke to say Ferdinand has "lost his way a little", most agree a move away from Upton Park would benefit him.

Could Keegan get him to move to Tyneside?

Reports in London suggest Villa could have the edge because he could be tempted to join former Hammers team-mates Nigel Reo-Coker and Marlon Harewood at Villa Park should O'Neill push through a deal.
