'Give me a 6-month loan' — Rio Ferdinand tells Arteta to sign Ballon d'Or winner


Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has revealed the best striker for Arsenal to sign in the January transfer window.

Arsenal’s problems in the centre-forward position have been well documented, and Gabriel Jesus’ latest injury only intensifies the situation.

The Gunners scraped a 2-1 win over Tottenham in the North London derby, but with the games coming thick and fast, manager Mikel Arteta must find solutions.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has advised Arteta to sign former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema on a short-term loan deal.

ai = d.createElement(‘script’);
ai.defer = true;
ai.async = true;
ai.src = v.location.protocol + o;
d.head.appendChild(ai);

Ferdinand believes Benzema would provide a much-needed solution to Arsenal’s attacking woes.

“They [Arsenal] need a goalscorer, it’s simple,” former Scotland striker Ally McCoist said on TNT Sports’ pre-match coverage of Arsenal’s Premier League tie against Tottenham.

“Go and get Osimhen. He’s still been scoring goals in Türkiye, his form is not what it was 18 months ago with Napoli but I think he can get there again.”

However, Ferdinand disagreed, suggesting 36-year-old Benzema would be a better option in the short term “I’d go and get Benzema,” he said.

“I’d say give me a six-month loan, have that.”

Benzema is still performing at an impressive level, scoring 12 goals in 13 games for Al Ittihad this season.
