WBA open talks for Rio Ferdinand?

Former Man Utd defender Rio Ferdinand is wanted by West Bromwich Albion. The defender is currently assessing his options.

The 35-year-old centre back left Old Trafford last season and is now ready to sign for a new club. Known to favour either a move to the MLS or to stay in England, Ferdinand has already been in talks with West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace regarding a potential move to the Hawthorns.

Ferdinand could be set to become WBA's highest paid player if a deal is wrapped up.
