As the transfer window approaches its conclusion, Arsenal is under pressure to bolster their squad, particularly in the striker position. Mikel Arteta’s side has started the Premier League campaign on a strong note, securing 2-0 victories against Wolves and Aston Villa.
However, concerns have surfaced regarding their attacking depth, especially after Gabriel Jesus suffered an injury that required a scan. This has raised questions about whether Arsenal has enough firepower to compete for the Premier League title against Manchester City.
Kai Havertz has managed to get on the scoresheet for Arsenal, but doubts persist about the overall strength of their forward line. With Eddie Nketiah expected to depart, the Gunners’ attacking options could be further depleted. This has led to speculation that Arsenal is preparing to make a late move for a top-class striker before the transfer window closes.
Reports suggest that Arsenal is closely monitoring Victor Osimhen, the Napoli striker who played a key role in leading his team to the Serie A title by scoring 26 goals in the 2022/23 season. Osimhen has been hailed as a ‘world-class’ talent, and while Napoli recently agreed to a £55 million deal with Al-Ahli, the striker’s future remains uncertain. Both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have also shown interest in the player.
Osimhen has already turned down a move to Saudi Arabia, which leaves the door open for a potential switch to the Premier League. His addition could be crucial for Arsenal’s title ambitions, as he is a proven goal-scorer capable of consistently delivering 20+ goals per season. This would provide the Gunners with the attacking reliability they need to challenge for the title.
As the transfer deadline looms, Arsenal fans are anxiously waiting to see if the club can successfully secure Osimhen’s signature in a dramatic last-minute move. If Arsenal can pull off this transfer, it could significantly enhance their chances of toppling Manchester City and becoming Premier League champions this season.
