Pundit and former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand has suggested Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen will join west London club, Chelsea, when the transfer window opens in the summer.
Ferdinand also believes his former club, Manchester United will try to sign Three Lions captain, Harry Kane in June.
Osimhen, Kane and Benfica’s Goncalo Ramos are the three strikers on Erik ten Hag’s wishlist for the summer transfer as United prioritises signing a new striker.

Chelsea who are also in the hunt for a new striker after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failed to click since joining from Barcelona in the summer of 2022 have also been linked to Osimhen.
Man United legend Ferdinand, however, expects the Napoli striker to end up at Stamford Bridge this summer because Red Devils boss, Erik ten Hag prioritises signing Kane over him.
“I reckon Chelsea this summer will go for Osimhen,” Ferdinand told Five. “Man United are going for Harry Kane. Harry Kane isn’t going to Chelsea from Spurs, no chance.”
Ferdinand went on to say Kane also has the option of being a one club man by ending his career at Tottenham Hotspurs.
“But you have to ask him the question, that is the question we need answering from him. Tell us man, ‘I want to be a one club man, I want to have the statue outside, I’m Mr Spurs’. We will all say, well played, that’s fine,” he added.
