Rio Ferdinand tells Newcastle to 'go all out' to try and sign Raheem Sterling, Declan Rice and Jesse Lingard - as he urges club's new Saudi owners to build 'a young core of English players'

Rio Ferdinand believes Newcastle United's new owners should target young English players in the January transfer window instead of top stars from abroad.

The Magpies were subject of a highly-publicised £305m takeover from a Saudi-led consortium last week and the club is now run by one of the wealthiest owners in football.

And Ferdinand - who played for West Ham, Leeds and Manchester United - told his YouTube show Vibe with Five that Newcastle should target some of England's Euro 2020 stars, mentioning the likes of Raheem Sterling, Jesse Lingard and Declan Rice.
