Rio Ferdinand says he’d sell Newcastle star Saint-Maximin and sign Zaha
Rio Ferdinand has claimed that if he was Newcastle United‘s manager, he’d sell Allan Saint-Maximin and sign Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha in his place.
The Ivorian will be a free agent at the end of this season. It doesn’t look like he’ll sign a new Palace deal before exploring his options next summer, and there could be plenty of clubs interested in his services.
Rio Ferdinand says he’d sell Newcastle star Saint-Maximin and sign Wilfried Zaha
In a yesterday, Ferdinand and his pals discussed where Zaha could end up when he becomes a free agent at the end of this season.
The 29-year-old, by Alan Brazil on , has been incredible for Palace over the years. He is absolutely adored by the club’s fans, but everybody knows he has been dreaming of a big move away from Selhurst Park for a while now.
When he becomes a free agent next summer, Zaha could finally get his wish, and Ferdinand thinks Newcastle should go and sign him – possibly at the expense of Saint-Maximin.
When asked if Newcastle should sign Zaha, the Manchester United legend said: “Yes! All day.
“If I’m Newcastle, I’d buy him straight up. I’ll take him and I’d sell Saint-Maximin. Or I’d have them both. He scores more than Saint-Maximin.
“I think Wilfried Zaha at Newcastle would be a problem.”
TBR View:
Newcastle have been on fire this season.
The Magpies are currently third in the Premier League table and also boast the joint-best defensive record in the top flight. They’ve been magnificent, and if they can keep this up, they could well finish in one of the European places.
Zaha on a free transfer would be an incredible signing. He’s almost unstoppable on his day – similar to Saint-Maximin in a way – and he’d be a fine addition to this Magpies side.
However, whether Eddie Howe would be interested in signing him remains to be seen.
