in-demand star sent big transfer message about Premier League move to Chelsea

Rio Ferdinand has issued a warning to Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres, amidst the constant speculation in the media which has constantly linked the forward with a move to the likes of CHELSEA interested.

Gyokeres is a man that is making some big noise across Europe after developing into one of the very best strikers in Europe right now, and there has been alot of talk that the Chelsea, Arsenal and Man United could make a move for the man in the upcoming transfer window.

But Ferdinand fears he flunked his audition after facing Arsenal in the Champions League, where the striker really struggled to make any sort of impact against that solid Arsenal defence.

‘His strengths played into the strengths of the two central defenders he was up against and that’s what he’d find in the Premier League week in week out,’ Ferdinand told TNT Sport.

‘Two big strong centre halves the majority of the time. Can he deal with them?

‘It wasn’t until Gabriel went off that he actually got a bit of joy against Kiwior, a player who’s not as big and not as strong.

‘These two centre halve are the best as a partnership and they didn’t give him an ounce the whole game. He’s been crucifying teams in those areas running the channels, these guys look supremely comfortable in doing that.

‘Have I seen enough to say he can come to the Premier League and be a success? I’m not saying he wouldn’t, but I’m saying you’d need to see more than what we saw today.’
