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.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
