Rio Ferdinand has urged Newcastle United to sign Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha amid speculation surrounding his future at Selhurst Park.
Zaha is out of contract next summer and is yet to agree a new deal with the Eagles. He has scored six goals in 12 appearances this term, including the equalising goal in Palace's 2-1 victory over West Ham United on Sunday.
Although Zaha has insisted that he is fully devoted to Palace in an interview with Sky Sports, the Ivorian will become a free agent at the end of the season as it stands. The 29-year-old is also free to negotiate a pre-contract with overseas clubs when the transfer window reopens in January. But Ferdinand believes Newcastle should move for Zaha, even if it means selling Allan Saint-Maximin.
