Mikel Arteta has made a firm decision regarding Arsenal's future in the 2025 transfer market: the club will not seek to acquire the services of Victor Osimhen. Despite being linked to the Nigerian forward on several occasions, the Spanish coach has officially ruled out the possibility of signing the Chelsea striker, thus closing any speculation surrounding his transfer. This decision marks a key point in Arsenal's strategy to strengthen their squad.

Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray after a challenging period at Napoli, had been one of the most followed strikers by top European clubs. His time at the Italian club, where he shone as one of the team's stars, was overshadowed by tensions that led him to seek an exit. However, his potential permanent transfer in January has aroused even more interest, especially due to the new £63 million release clause that could facilitate his signing. Despite these circumstances, Arsenal has chosen not to pursue this option.

Good news for Chelsea!

Although last summer the London club showed some interest in the striker, he never became a top priority for the Gunners. The North London team continues its search for a center forward who can provide consistency and leadership in attack, but Osimhen does not seem to fit the profile that Arteta is looking for. Additionally, the complications in his relationship with Napoli and his move to Galatasaray seem to have raised doubts about his character, something Arsenal wants to avoid in their dressing room.

With Arsenal out of the race, Chelsea now has a clearer path to try to secure the Nigerian. The Blues have been interested in Osimhen since the last summer transfer window but failed to close the deal in time. Now, with the possibility of his release clause being activated in winter, Stamford Bridge's club could make the final move and secure his signing, especially after Arsenal's refusal.
