In an interview, Ferdinand said he had watched Gyokeres closely and didn't think he would get enough opportunities to score. He questioned whether Gyokeres would be able to get past defenders and have a clear shot at goal.
Gyokeres has been a successful player for Sporting CP, scoring almost 100 goals over the past two seasons. However, Ferdinand thinks the Premier League is a different level of competition.
The Arsenal management is excited about the signing, but Ferdinand's comments may raise concerns about Gyokeres' ability to adapt to the Premier League.
