Rio Ferdinand deal will lift whole club, says QPR manager Harry Redknapp
Exclusive: Manager confident former England defender's arrival will have positive impact and persuade Steven Caulker to sign from Cardiff

Harry Redknapp is finalising a deal for Rio Ferdinand and believes the former England captain’s arrival could prove pivotal in his £8 million bid for Steven Caulker.
Ferdinand has returned from Brazil to hold talks with Redknapp, the Queens Park Rangers manager, and is expected to sign a 12-month deal in the next 24 hours.
The 35-year-old has accepted a substantial pay cut from his last contract at Manchester United but verbally agreed to sign for May’s Championship play-off winners before flying out to the World Cup finals to work for the BBC.
Redknapp met Ferdinand in London on Tuesday night and is confident of finally completing a deal, insisting the centre-half can have a similar influence to Teddy Sheringham at Portsmouth. Sheringham was signed by Redknapp in 2003 after Portsmouth’s promotion back to the top flight and Ferdinand has been backed to produce a similar impact on and off the field.
“Rio has always been a class act and signing a player like him will give the whole place a lift,” said Redknapp. “He’s never been a greedy lad and this deal is not about money. He’s still desperate to play in the Premier League and it will help that we’ve worked together in the past. I’ve always loved him as a player ever since he first started training with us at West Ham as a 14-year-old.

Diego Costa up for Chelsea challenge after completing £32m move

DIEGO COSTA has spoken for the first time about his move to Chelsea saying he is relishing the fight with Fernando Torres to become the club's No1 striker.

Chelsea officially announced the signing of Costa for £32million yesterday and he is set to join his new team-mates for the first time at next week's pre-season training camp in Austria.

Costa was Atletico Madrid's top scorer with 36 goals last season and given the nod ahead of Torres in Spain's disappointing World Cup campaign, which saw the 2010 champions crash out at the group stage.

And he said: "It's always good to have competition. The important thing for a big club is having great players. Torres is a great player, I know I will have to fight hard to be among the team but I like that. So it will be a clean and healthy competition.

"I am hopeful for what is happening in my life and I will adapt well. I have wanted to play in the Premier League for a long time and it will be a very good and fast adaptation.

"I do not think there will be many changes to the style of play. Chelsea are a great team and the Premier League is good to play in."
