Transfer News: Ferguson advised to snub Arsenal move for better playing time
Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has advised Brighton's Evan Ferguson to shun a move to the Emirates.
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.
