Arsenal is reportedly set to propose a significant weekly salary of £200,000 to lure a notable celebrity figure to North London. The club is engaged in “constant communication” to secure this high-profile individual for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Edu, Arsenal’s sporting director, is on the lookout for a new striker to bolster the team. Over the past two months, Mikel Arteta’s squad has exhibited outstanding scoring prowess in domestic competitions.
Their recent 2-1 victory over Brentford underscored their offensive strength, having netted 33 goals in their last eight Premier League games. This remarkable form is likely to alarm title contenders Liverpool and Manchester City.
Despite Kai Havertz’s strong performances, rumors suggest Arsenal’s management is exploring additional striker options to further enhance their attacking lineup.
Among the top scorers for Arsenal this season, Bukayo Saka leads with thirteen goals, followed by Kai Havertz with eight, and Leandro Trossard with seven. Declan Rice, Martinelli, and Gabriel each have six goals.
Arsenal is determined to upgrade their striking options in the forthcoming transfer window and has been linked with several high-profile players.
Ivan Toney from Brentford remains a significant target, while there is also speculation surrounding Victor Osimhen from Napoli. Journalist Ben Jacobs indicates that despite financial hurdles, Arsenal is still a contender for Osimhen.
Jacobs recently affirmed that Arsenal remains in the race for Osimhen’s signature. Although Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has shown interest, Osimhen reportedly favors a move to the Premier League, which bodes well for Arsenal and Chelsea. Osimhen, regarded as one of Serie A’s leading scorers, is expected to attract substantial interest in the upcoming transfer window.
Osimhen’s new contract with Napoli includes a release clause of £113 million, which Edu and his team are likely assessing.
Reports from Footballwave suggest ongoing negotiations between Arsenal and Osimhen, with the club ready to offer a substantial weekly wage to secure his services. Given Osimhen’s impressive track record, investing in the 25-year-old striker could prove advantageous for Arsenal.
Since joining Napoli from Lille, Osimhen has consistently showcased his goal-scoring abilities, tallying 72 goals in 125 appearances across all competitions. For a player of his caliber, the reported release clause appears reasonable.
