In the midst of the ongoing summer transfer season, Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand disclosed what Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice told him about colleague Kai Havertz.
This summer, Arsenal has been mentioned as a potential candidate to replace No. 9.
The Gunners have been linked to players like Ivan Toney of Brentford and Victor Osimhen of Napoli.
But Ferdinand has now disclosed that Rice informed him that Mikel Arteta’s team already possesses Havertz, therefore they don’t require a new striker.
“Do you know what, I spoke to Declan Rice the other day and he spoke about Havertz in such glowing terms,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
“Like ‘we don’t need a number nine, Havertz is our guy’. The confidence he exuded about Havertz… I was like, I didn’t know you guys felt like that about him.
“He’s a roving, moving centre forward, 10 goals in his last 15 games so he did well at the end of the season.
“But I’m expecting big things, just based on that one conversation with a player that currently plays with him.”
Havertz scored a goal in Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Wolves in the Premier League this past weekend.
