BREAKING NEWS: Coming live from Fabrizio Romano, all eyes now on Arsenal as club submits a whopping offer of €85m for serie star who Arteta desire in his team. “He’s got the personality and the arrogance I like. When he walks, you can tell someone just walked into the room, and that’s what most premier strikers are lacking. I think with him in my squad the team will be supreme”. According to reports, Arsenal are reportedly back in the race for Victor Osimhen because Napoli have lowered their asking price and are ready to bring him to England this summer. Osimhen, 25, posted 17 goals and four assists in 32 games across competitions last season. He’s regarded as one of the best finishers in world football and also attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea this summer. Arsenal views Osimhen as Eddie Nketiah’s replacement and are closing in agreeing with Napoli on a €85m for the Nigerian international. Serie A giants ready to accept €100m offer for sale of player linked with move to Arsenal.

Because Napoli has reportedly dropped their asking price, Arsenal is apparently back in the running for Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian forward is expected to leave the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona this summer, although his €130 million (£110.7 million) release clause has not been activated by any team.

Corriere dello Sport, an Italian publication, suggests that the Gunners have rekindled their interest in Osimhen. The release clause is turning away potential suitors, thus the Naples team is leaning towards accepting offers of at least €100 million (£85.2 million).
Osimhen, 25, finished the previous season with 17 goals and 4 assists in 32 games across all competitions. Regarded as one of the top finishers in the world of football, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain expressed interest in signing him this summer.

Osimhen may be seen by Arsenal as Eddie Nketiah’s replacement, and the English forward’s sale is becoming closer. They are negotiating to sell him for between £30-35 million with Nottingham Forest.
The 2024–25 campaign began with a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers for Mikel Arteta’s team. That match was started by Kai Havertz up top, but more people are realising that in order to disrupt Manchester City’s title supremacy, they need a goal scorer with experience.
Osimhen’s contract with Napoli expires in two years, and he has no intention of going on loan. He is a good fit for the Gunners considering his goalscoring record, which includes winning the Serie A Golden Boot (26 goals in 32 games) during Gli Azzurri’s 2022–23 Scudetto victory.

Over his career in European football, Osimhen’s reputation has increased, and he has received praise in his native country. His ferocity, tenacity, and unwavering eye for goal are reminiscent of Chelsea great Didier Drogba.

Earlier this year, John Obi Mikel brought up that analogy during a speech on the Obi One podcast. “He’s got the personality and the arrogance,” he remarked. Didier has an air of someone who has just entered the room from the way he walks. I believe he is rather similar to Didier.

Drogba was possibly the most resilient striker Arsenal had ever encountered in the Premier League, so they won’t need any reminder of his abilities. With 13 goals and three assists in 15 appearances against the Gunners, the Ivorian has an incredible record.
When playing opponents in London, Arteta would adore having a striker that can provide comparable results. If the north Londoners choose to make a move before the transfer window shuts, Osimhen might be the solution.
