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.”

Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.

While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.

He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”

He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
