Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has claimed one Premier League team must finish the job and win the title this season.
Former England international Rio Ferdinand has issued a confident challenge to Arsenal, claiming that they must now win the Premier League.
Arsenal are currently top of the Premier League table heading into October’s international break, after their 2-0 victory over West Ham, a result boosted by Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.
Ferdinand believes that following an impressive transfer window, which saw the club bring in quality players like Eberechi Eze, Zubimendi, and Viktor Gyokeres, the Gunners have run out of excuses not to win the title this season.
Speaking on his Rio Presents podcast, Ferdinand praised the depth of the squad: “Arsenal have got probably the best depth in the league right now, all positions have really good cover.
“When all the squad’s fit, I think it’s an intimidating squad that you’re coming up against now.

“They’ve got robust players, players that can hurt you from different areas. It’s a good time to be an Arsenal fan.”
In a final warning and call to action for the club, Ferdinand insisted that anything less than the title would be a failure given their current strength:
“They’ve got to finish it off this time, they can’t go this season with arguably the best squad in the league and still not get the job done.”
