Arsenal has set its sights on Napoli superstar Victor Osimhen as a potential target for the upcoming summer transfer window.
The news was revealed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who has provided updates on the ongoing speculation surrounding the Nigerian striker’s future.
According to Romano, Arsenal is reportedly interested in securing the services of Victor Osimhen, who has been in impressive form for Napoli.
Romano suggests that the Gunners have a “really concrete” chance of signing the talented striker, indicating that negotiations and discussions may already be underway.
“No decision has been made yet, it will also depend on the opportunities. Let’s see how Arsenal decide to move on the market in the next days and weeks.” Romano said.
While Napoli is keen to retain Osimhen’s services, Romano has hinted that the Italian club may be forced to sell the player due to various factors.
The potential departure of Osimhen from Napoli opens up the possibility of a move to Arsenal, among other clubs.
Securing Osimhen’s signature may not be an easy task for Arsenal, as Napoli is known for being a tough club to negotiate with.
The asking price for the striker is rumored to be substantial, which could pose a challenge for the Gunners.
However, Romano suggests that Arsenal is actively pursuing the deal and remains optimistic about the potential transfer.
While Arsenal is reportedly leading the race for Osimhen’s signature, other clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, have also shown interest in the talented striker.
However, Romano’s updates indicate that Arsenal is in a strong position to secure the player’s services.
Osimhen has been a standout performer for Napoli, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess and contributing significantly to the team’s success.
With an impressive record of 76 goals in 133 appearances for Napoli, including 65 in Serie A, Osimhen has established himself as one of the best strikers in the world.
