Despite Arsenal’s solid performances this season, their reliance on set pieces has been evident, with most of their goals coming from dead-ball situations.
However, their lack of firepower upfront has been a recurring issue, with forwards like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus failing to meet expectations.
Ferdinand believes Osimhen could be the answer to Arsenal’s attacking problems. Speaking to Football Transfers, he explained: “Right now, you don’t have a number nine that’s consistently impacting games.
You need someone who can come in and make a real difference. I’d definitely buy Osimhen.”
The Gunners’ attacking woes are clear, as Mikel Arteta’s side have failed to score from open play in their last four games.
Ferdinand emphasized the importance of securing a striker who can change games, suggesting Osimhen’s qualities could elevate Arsenal’s attack and provide the firepower they’ve been missing.
With Napoli’s star striker attracting attention from Europe’s top clubs, Arsenal could face stiff competition for his signature, but Ferdinand’s endorsement highlights the urgent need for Arteta to address the team’s goal-scoring issues.
