Arsenal has entered the race to sign Victor Osimhen, star striker of Napoli, amid the firm resistance of the Italian club to sell him at a low price. According to Corriere dello Sport, Osimhen's future is still up in the air as he evaluates his options for this summer.
In addition to the Gunners, PSG and Chelsea have also shown interest in the player, with the latter having more concrete discussions with Napoli. Arsenal's entry into this competition adds an additional element of excitement to the dispute for the forward.
Mikel Arteta's team finished the last season very close to matching Manchester City's goal tally, demonstrating their ability to distribute goals among their players. However, several media outlets point out the need for a prolific striker to mount a real title challenge. Despite Arsenal having a variety of offensive profiles in their squad, doubts persist about the necessity of incorporating an elite goal scorer.
Arsenal wants to break the market with the signing of Victor Osimhen
In recent weeks, the name of Viktor Gyökeres has been mentioned as a possible option for Arsenal's attack, although Sporting CP's high financial demands have raised doubts about whether the Gunners will be willing to pay the required price. Similarly, there is speculation about Arsenal's willingness to shell out over 100 million euros for Osimhen, as Napoli demands his £130 million release clause. This figure has already deterred PSG, who had offered over £90 million for the forward who scored 17 goals last season.
If Arsenal manages to sign Osimhen, they could become an unstoppable team, although the high price and wages of the forward pose a significant obstacle. Despite the Blues being in talks with Napoli about a possible loan, it is reported that Osimhen may not consider Chelsea as his top choice.
