Ferdinand Urges Arsenal to Sign Victor Osimhen in January to Boost Attack and Title
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has urged Arsenal to make a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen when the transfer window opens in January.
Arsenal’s struggles with finding consistent attacking form have been a significant concern this season, with their inability to score from open play in their last four matches.
While the Gunners have shown strong defensive stability, their offensive challenges have limited their ability to keep pace with the top teams.
Currently, Mikel Arteta’s side sits in third place in the Premier League, trailing Liverpool and Chelsea, and their goal-scoring woes are becoming increasingly apparent.
Ferdinand, a well-known pundit and former England international, believes that a striker like Osimhen could be the key to reigniting Arsenal’s title aspirations.
The 24-year-old Nigerian forward has been in exceptional form for Napoli, known for his physicality, clinical finishing, and ability to lead the line in high-pressure situations.
Ferdinand highlighted Arsenal’s need for a proven number nine who can consistently make an impact on matches, stating, “You ain’t having a number nine that’s coming on impacting games.”
Al-Nassr coach Stefano Pioli has revealed why captain Cristiano Ronaldo missed their Saudi Pro League match against Al-Taawoun on Friday. Ronaldo was sidelined due to a cold as Al-Nassr settled for a 1-1 draw at home. Otávio and R. Martínez scored to earn a point for both teams at Al-Awwal Park.
After the game, Pioli explained that Ronaldo’s absence was health-related. Al-Nassr currently sit fourth in the league with 64 points from 32 matches, having already missed out on the title after Al-Ittihad were crowned champions. Their next fixture is against Al-Khaleej on Wednesday.
Atalanta’s star winger Ademola Lookman has been nominated for the Serie A Player of the Month award for May. He’s up against five other top players including Riccardo Orsoloni from Bologna, Juventus’ Khenphren Thuram, Napoli’s Scott McTominay, AS Roma’s Manu Kone, and AC Milan’s Santiago Gimenez.
Lookman broke his six-game scoring drought by finding the net in Atalanta’s 2-1 victory over AS Roma on Monday. This season, the 27-year-old has made a huge impact with 15 goals and five assists in 30 league games.
Ademola Lookman has once again earned a spot in the Serie A Team of the Season, marking his second time in a row making the prestigious list. The 27-year-old was a key figure for Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta side throughout the 2024/25 season, putting in several standout performances.
He racked up an impressive 20 goal contributions, netting 15 goals and providing five assists in 30 league matches. His teammate, Mateo Retegui, also made the cut. With transfer talks heating up, the exciting winger is expected to part ways with Atalanta when the season wraps up.
