Exciting news is emerging from London Colney, as Arsenal fans eagerly await the club’s first summer signing.
According to reports, the Gunners have already secured a four-year contract with the player, who is expected to undergo a medical examination today.
An official announcement from the club is imminent, and fans are ecstatic about the prospect of welcoming a new champion to the Emirates.
Arsenal’s technical director, Edu, has been busy identifying top talent to strengthen the team, particularly in the striker position.
Initially, Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig was the primary target, but he has decided to stay with the German club.
Undeterred, Edu has shifted his focus to other options, with Victor Osimhen of Napoli emerging as a top contender.
According to Area Napoli, an Italian news source, Arsenal is preparing to submit a bid for Osimhen in the coming days.
While the exact amount is not specified, it is believed to be less than his £102 million release clause.
Napoli may prefer negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) or Saudi Pro League teams, who are likely to offer more money, but Osimhen himself favors a move to the Premier League and is expecting an approach from Arsenal.
Osimhen’s impressive goal-scoring record at Napoli, with 17 goals in 32 appearances last season and a total of 76 goals in 133 games, makes him an attractive option for Arsenal.
His physical presence, tireless work rate, and finishing abilities align perfectly with Mikel Arteta’s requirements for a consistent No. 9.
Unlike Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, who struggled to score goals and create space for their teammates, Osimhen has the potential to enhance Arsenal’s attacking options significantly.
The Nigeria international’s agent reportedly visited London Colney in March for discussions with the Gunners, indicating a long-standing interest in the player.
With Sesko no longer an option, Arsenal has turned its attention to Osimhen, and fans eagerly await the official announcement of his signing.
The addition of Osimhen would be a significant boost to Arsenal’s squad, providing a dynamic and clinical striker who can lead the attack and capitalize on limited opportunities.
