Arsenal have already begun making some moves ahead of the summer transfer window and may spend a significant amount of money to sign Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen is one of the names Arsenal are thinking about when it comes to signing a new striker. Osimhen’s mention was put forth once more in January, but it is believed that Ivan Toney is the front-runner.
The Nigerian sensation has also caught the attention of Chelsea, who are keen to add a top-tier striker to their roster.
According to The Mirror as reported by CaughtOffside, Arsenal may make a more concerted effort to entice Osimhen to move to England.
According to the source, the Gunners are keen to get the 25-year-old into the Premier League. And have been pursuing him for some time.
The report claims that the north-London side have continued to show desire in the Napoli striker and have already had a meeting with his representatives.
Some of the biggest teams in the world are showing interest in the former Lille striker. Following his league title win with Napoli in the previous season, his value has skyrocketed, making him one of the most sought-after assets in world football.
Osimhen has seven goals and two assists in 13 Serie A games this season.
Osimhen’s new release clause, which would be worth more than £100 million, would require Arsenal to match it.

Napoli, who paid more than £69 million for the Lille striker in the summer of 2020, would make a significant profit with that sum.
Mikel Arteta is eager to sign a forward and improve his team’s goal prowess. Arsenal have been linked to several attacking players, such as Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic, Dominic Solanke of Bournemouth, and Brentford striker, Ivan Toney.
