Recent reports suggest that negotiations have begun between Arsenal and Napoli regarding a potential transfer deal for Victor Osimhen in the upcoming summer window. Osimhen, a 25-year-old Nigerian striker, has impressed since joining Napoli from LOSC Lille in 2020, playing a key role in their Serie A success last season.
Osimhen is reportedly keen on leaving Napoli this summer for a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal being his preferred destination after expressing interest in both clubs previously. Arsenal is said to be in talks with Napoli and is pushing to finalize the deal, despite Osimhen’s hefty release clause of £102 million.
While Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest, Arsenal seems to be leading the race for Osimhen’s signature, especially if Chelsea fails to secure Champions League qualification. His preference for the Premier League makes PSG a secondary option.
Acquiring Osimhen would significantly bolster Arsenal’s attack for the upcoming season, but whether they can successfully complete the negotiations remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Arsenal faces a tough challenge against Manchester City as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League table after the international break. The outcome of this match will be crucial for Arsenal’s title aspirations.
