Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand has cautioned English Premier League clubs against signing Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen.
According to him, he is not sure the talented striker has what it takes to thrive in the league.
“I don’t think he’s the guy. I’ve not watched him loads but I’ve probably watched him three times really, really closely,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
The former England international continued, “Three times I’ve watched him and I’ve gone, he ain’t getting those opportunities in the Premier League. When I see him physically matched, I don’t see it. What else is there?
“That’s the questions I’m asking. Is there enough after he’s physically matched to get a goal? Physicality is a massive thing in the game today.”
Victor Osimhen is expected to leave SSC Napoli permanently at the end of the 2024/25 football season.
He is reportedly a transfer target of several English Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea.
Currently on loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen would likely cost around 65 million Euros in the summer window.
