Reports from the Italian outlet Il Roma have indicated that Arsenal is in discussions for a potential deal to bring Napoli's talented striker, Victor Osimhen, to the Emirates Stadium this summer.
Since his transfer from LOSC Lille to Napoli in 2020, Osimhen has made a name for himself in Serie A as one of the top strikers, contributing to his team's success in securing the Scudetto last season.
Despite proving his skills in Italy, it appears that Osimhen is ready for a fresh challenge and is interested in pursuing a move to the Premier League. The Gunners have reportedly engaged with the player's representatives regarding a possible transfer.
While Chelsea had shown previous interest in Osimhen, their pursuit seems to have faded, and Paris Saint-Germain is monitoring the situation without making a formal approach yet.
The reported £101m release clause in Osimhen's contract could pose a challenge for Arsenal, considering Napoli's tough stance on transfers. However, with his speed, strength, aerial ability, goal-scoring instincts, and relentless work rate, Osimhen possesses the qualities to excel in the demanding Premier League, making him an appealing target for the Gunners.
However, Osimhen's recent fitness issues and the significant price tag attached to him warrant careful consideration by Arsenal before committing to a potential deal.
Amidst rumors linking Arsenal to other striker targets like Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres, and Joshua Zirkzee, the upcoming summer transfer window promises to be intriguing for Arsenal fans, as they anticipate reinforcements in the attacking department at the Emirates Stadium."
