Arsenal begin pursuit of Victor Osimhen

Arsenal are rekindling their interest in Victor Osimhen, eyeing a potential transfer for the Nigerian striker from Napoli. According to Corriere dello Sport, Mikel Arteta’s side has returned with a fresh inquiry as Osimhen seeks a new challenge away from Italy. Despite earlier interest from PSG, no concrete deal materialised due to Napoli’s hefty asking price of €100-130 million.

With Arsenal recently securing Riccardo Calafiori, they seem to be revisiting old targets, including Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres. The Gunners’ need for a centre-forward has fluctuated, but Osimhen’s quality could still tempt them back into the market. However, whether Arsenal can muster the required funds remains uncertain.

Chelsea, long-time admirers of Osimhen, are also in the mix. The Blues have explored player exchanges, including Romelu Lukaku, though Napoli prefers cash to meet their valuation. With both Premier League giants keen, the saga surrounding Osimhen’s future continues, leaving his potential move hanging in the balance.
