ANTON Ferdinand is reportedly on the verge of joining Spurs.

The West Ham defender is rumoured to have been on Spurs' wanted list for some time and, according to the Daily Mail, he is now all set to move across London from Upton Park to White Hart Lane for £6million.

Ferdinand has made over 150 appearances for the club since making his full debut against Preston in August 2003.

But his progress has been hampered by a host of off the field problems and a series of niggling injuries.

And, with six first team centre-backs on the books and following the emergence of highly-promising youngster James Tomkins, the Irons could look to cash in on their current longest-serving player.
