Arsenal is reportedly ready to offer a significant weekly salary of £200,000 to a well-known celebrity, aiming to bring them to North London. The club has been in continuous discussions about this potential acquisition during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Arsenal’s sporting director, Edu, is actively looking for a new striker, despite the team’s recent strong offensive performances.
In the past two months, Mikel Arteta’s squad has shown impressive goal-scoring ability, highlighted by their 2-1 win against Brentford, contributing to a total of 33 goals in their last eight Premier League matches. This scoring spree poses a challenge to rivals like Liverpool and Manchester City in the championship race.
Despite Kai Havertz’s commendable performances, Arsenal’s management is reportedly exploring other striker options. The current top scorers for Arsenal this season are Bukayo Saka 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 enhance their attacking options in the next transfer window and has been linked with several high-profile players. Brentford’s English striker Ivan Toney and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen are among those rumored to be on Arsenal’s radar.
Journalist Ben Jacobs suggests that despite the financial considerations, Arsenal remains a contender for Osimhen’s signature. Osimhen, who is currently one of Serie A’s top scorers, is reportedly keen on moving to the Premier League, making Arsenal and Chelsea potential destinations.
Osimhen’s contract with Napoli includes a release clause of £113 million, which Arsenal may be willing to meet. Footballwave reports that Arsenal is in negotiations with Osimhen, and the club is prepared to offer him a substantial weekly wage.
Given Osimhen’s impressive goal-scoring record—72 goals in 125 appearances across all competitions since joining Napoli from Lille—the investment could be worthwhile for Arsenal. The reported release clause seems reasonable for a player of his caliber, and securing Osimhen could significantly bolster Arsenal’s attacking lineup.
