SubscribeFerdinand highlighted the efficiency of the recruitment process on his Rio Presents YouTube channel, pointing out that additions like Konsa and Guimaraes bring vital reliability and quality to the team.
"I think they have strengthened. They look stronger," Ferdinand noted, praising the club's targeted approach rather than chasing excessive numbers of players.
Gary Neville Urges Caution With Winger Tzolis
Christos Tzolis has emerged as a major talking point after Ferdinand tipped the winger to potentially become one of the bargains of the season in the Premier League.
Despite early promise following his arrival, Tzolis faced a tough challenge during Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Aston Villa, where Matty Cash kept him quiet throughout the fixture.
Pundit Gary Neville believes the young winger should be taken out of the firing line for the upcoming clash against Chelsea, suggesting that more experience is needed in such high-stakes matches.
"I would be stunned if Eze doesn't play next week because he played really well in the second half at Aston Villa," Neville explained regarding potential tactical shifts for Mikel Arteta.
