In a bid to bolster their attacking options, Arsenal have made contact with the representative of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, according to Italian publication Il Roma.
The 25-year-old Nigerian international has been impressive in Serie A, scoring 67 goals in 119 appearances for Napoli.
Arsenal's interest in Osimhen comes after missing out on RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who decided to remain with the Bundesliga outfit.
The Gunners are in the market for a new striker, and Osimhen's Premier League ambitions make him a viable option.
However, Napoli's valuation of Osimhen could pose a challenge for Arsenal.
The Italian club is holding out for the £110 million release clause in his contract, which Arsenal are reluctant to pay.
Osimhen's injury record is also a concern, having missed ten games last term due to multiple injuries.
Despite the challenges, Arsenal's interest in Osimhen is genuine.
The Nigerian striker has expressed his desire to play in the Premier League, and Arsenal seem to be the only option for him, with Chelsea reportedly no longer in the race.
It remains to be seen if Arsenal will meet Napoli's valuation or negotiate a lower price. However, with the summer transfer window approaching, Arsenal fans will be eager to see if the club can secure the services of one of Europe's most prolific strikers.
