There is a possibility that Victor Osimhen will move to Arsenal

The Gunners need at least one new striker and Victor Osimhen is high on their wish list.

What did Victor Osimhen say?

The Nigerian Napoli international left the door open for a move to Gunners, with the player admitting that anything could happen during the summer transfer window. Improving their options at the head of the attack is at the top of Arsenal’s list, with Alexandre Lacazette’s move to Lyon on a free transfer adding losses to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Barca and Eddie Nketiah to seal a new deal in the Emirates. The Nigerian striker is one of Arteta’s top targets ahead of the 2022-23 season – and the player himself is aware of reports linking him to the Emirates.

Before the press Speaking during an international tour with the Super Eagles, the Nigerian player said he doesn’t know his future, he knows anything can happen, but right now he just wants to go on vacation with his family, clear his head and recharge his batteries. Then they will take care of the rest. According to Victor Osimhen there are a lot of rumors that they would like him in Spain or in England, but he doesn’t think it’s the right time to talk about it when he’s with the national team.

Arsenal realizes deal won’t come cheap

An agent for Victor’s is believed to have flown to London in mid-May to discuss a potential transfer with Gunners Edu’s technical director. Arsenal are aware, however, that the deal won’t come cheap as Victor has three years left on his contract and Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis – a notoriously tough negotiator – paid £68m to sign the Lille striker. In addition, Napoli qualified for the Champions League next season while the Gunners did not, which could potentially affect Victor’s decision in the long run.
