Ferdinand writes off incoming Arsenal striker Gyokeres: He won't score in Premier League

The Gunners are set to close the signing of the Sporting CP centre-forward over the weekend.

But while Arsenal management are delighted to have finally landed Gyokeres, Ferdinand insists he won't score regularly in the Premier League.

He said on his podcast: "I don't think he's the guy. I've watched him probably three times really, really closely. And three times I've gone: 'He ain't getting that opportunity in the Prem.'

" The ex-United defender also questioned: "Is there enough - after he's physically matched - to get him a goal?"

Gyokeres, 27, has scord almost 100 goals for Sporting over the past two seasons.
