Transfer advice for Roma has come from a very unlikely source in the form of Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand.
Rio Ferdinand spoke to Il Romanista today with very kind words for a Premier League rival. The one time England captain was talking about Frenchman Florent Malouda of Chelsea, whose possible move to Roma has caught his attention.
The complimentary Ferdinand said of the 27-year-old winger: “I think Malouda is a great player, especially when he was at Lyon, where he did many great things.”
Knowing the player well from the many intense matches Manchester United played against Chelsea last season, the Englishman continued: “I think he can adapt well to any team he plays for.”
After a less then ideal season at Chelsea the French international will be keen to move on and ply his trade elsewhere, but Rio clearly rates the much-maligned Malouda.
Despite praise from his peer, however, Malouda himself will be keen to prove his worth after frequent criticisms, whether he stays at Chelsea or moves on to new pastures.
