Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand gives Harry Kane transfer verdict amid Victor Osimhen worry

27.05.2023 - 10:41 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has questioned whether Victor Osimhen would be able to adapt to life in the Premier League.

Osimhen is one of several strikers currently on United's radar, with Erik ten Hag keen to add goals to his squad and ease the burden on Marcus Rashford.

Osimhen's 23 goals in 30 appearances helped Napoli to a first Serie A title in 30 years earlier this month. Harry Kane is Ten Hag's priority target, but the Reds are looking elsewhere under the assumption that Tottenham will not sell their star under any circumstances, leading them to Osimhen.

But while Ferdinand admits the Nigerian would 'tick every box', the Reds defender believes it would be a 'risk' to bring him across from Italy for such massive money.
