Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn says Anton Ferdinand doesn't need to move to win an England call.
West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola is a big admirer of the 24-year-old, who left Upton Park for £8million almost 12 months ago.
But Black Cats chairman Quinn said: "If he goes on to get international caps nobody will be happier than me.
"We'll be pushing him to drive his career forward."
