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.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
