Former midfielder Emmanuel Petit has advised Arsenal to acquire Victor Osimhen rather than Viktor Gyokeres because he feels the Nigerian striker has “more pedigree” than the desired Sporting Lisbon star.

If the Gunners lose the Premier League title for the third straight season, they will likely have to spend a lot of money this summer on a new striker.
Additionally, several well-known players have been connected to a move to The Emirates as rumors about the club’s transfer plans are already beginning to circulate.
Petit is of the belief Isak would be the perfect signing for Arsenal.
But with the Swede appearing out of reach, Petit feels that Osimhen, who is set to be available for sale this summer, would be a better signing for his old club, reports Mirror.
The Frenchman told Pokerfirma: “If I was picking between Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen, then I would go for Osimhen.
Osimhen has more pedigree than Gyokeres.
He would be the better choice for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal.
“But, if I had to choose one striker that Arsenal should break the bank for this summer, then I have to put Alexander Isak in front of both Osimhen and Gyokeres.
Isak already knows the Premier League, there’s no adaption period. He’s off the shelf, ready to deliver.
