Premier League giants Arsenal have reportedly entered the race to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the striker is weighing his options ahead of the summer transfer window. While his potential move to PSG has cooled, Chelsea remains in the picture, having held concrete talks with Napoli. The addition of Arsenal to the mix heightens the competition for Osimhen’s signature.
Arsenal finished last season just two points behind Manchester City, scoring 91 goals compared to City’s 96. Despite their impressive performance, media outlets have suggested that Arsenal’s lack of a prolific striker hindered their title challenge.
There are still doubts about Arsenal’s willingness to meet the €130 million release clause for Osimhen. However, the Nigerian forward remains a hot commodity in the market, with Napoli holding firm on their valuation.
