Rio Ferdinand has discussed the possibility of Bayern Munich marksman Robert Lewandowski in the Premier League, lauding his achievement of over 40 goals in the last seven seasons.

The Pole added to his seasonal tally and surpassed the mark with the Champions League's quickest hat-trick since 1996 with his treble in the mauling of RB Salzburg.

In recent weeks, speculation has seen the forward linked with a potential move to Old Trafford. Lewandowski broke Gerd Muller's Bundesliga record last season and has continued his exploits during Julian Nagelsmann's first season at the Allianz Arena scoring 28 goals in 25 appearances.

Ferdinand lauded the 33-year-old and discussed the possibility of him playing in the Premier League.
