BREAKING NEWS: Napoli has just notified Arsenal that they are ready to sell Victor Osimhen to them- but only on ONE condition. Mikel Arteta isn’t satisfied with the condition, but Arsenal Sporting Director doesn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to get the world-class striker.

Arsenal have a potential opportunity to sign Napoli’s star striker Victor Osimhen, but it would come with significant conditions, as per recent reports.

The Gunners, having refrained from acquiring a dedicated goalscorer in the last summer transfer window, are now expected to seek a top striker either in January or next summer.

While they signed Kai Havertz as a versatile forward, manager Mikel Arteta has so far relied on Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus.

However, to compete at the highest levels and win major trophies, Arsenal will likely need a prolific goalscorer.

Victor Osimhen of Napoli is a name that has surfaced in this context, especially with speculations that he might leave the club next summer following a fallout with the club’s executives.

The fallout was exacerbated when Osimhen was mocked on Napoli’s TikTok channel, leading him to consider legal action, although no significant steps have been taken in that direction yet.

Despite the controversy, Osimhen continues to play for Napoli, who reportedly are planning to sell him next summer.

Previously, Napoli demanded over £100 million for Osimhen, which deterred potential buyers.

According to Calciomercato, Napoli might be open to selling Osimhen to Arsenal, but with a substantial caveat that could deter the Gunners.

Napoli would want Gabriel Jesus included in the deal, along with a hefty transfer fee, reflecting Osimhen’s valuation exceeding £100 million compared to the £50 million Arsenal spent on Jesus.

Jesus has been a crucial part of Arteta’s strategy at Arsenal, making this potential swap a challenging decision. Arteta may hesitate to part with Jesus, even if it means acquiring one of the world’s top strikers.

In parallel, Arsenal have shown interest in Brentford’s Ivan Toney for a possible January transfer. Toney, keen to leave Brentford after his gambling suspension ends, presents another option for bolstering Arsenal’s attack.

This potential move indicates that Arsenal are actively seeking to strengthen their forward line to enhance their competitiveness in major tournaments.

The situation presents a dilemma for Arsenal: whether to pursue a highly valued and proven striker like Osimhen, potentially sacrificing a key player in Jesus, or explore alternative options like Toney to boost their scoring prowess without compromising their existing squad depth and dynamics.
