Arsenal is preparing to make an offer for Victor Osimhen, Napoli's star striker and reigning CAF Africa Footballer of the Year. Despite interest from PSG and Saudi clubs, Osimhen's Premier League ambition could see him join Arsenal. The prolific forward has 135 career goals and nine UEFA Champions League strikes.
In a significant development, Arsenal is poised to make a move for Victor Osimhen, the prolific Nigerian striker currently with Napoli. According to Sky Sports reporter Gianluca Di Marzio, the North London giants are preparing to present an offer for Osimhen, who has been a target for several top clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and various Saudi Arabian teams.
Osimhen, who has become one of the most sought-after forwards in world football, has impressed with his performance in recent seasons. The 25-year-old played a crucial role in Napoli’s Serie A title win in the 2022-23 season, showcasing his exceptional pace, strength, and goal-scoring prowess. With a career tally of 135 goals, including nine in the UEFA Champions League, Osimhen is recognized as one of the top attackers globally.
Despite PSG's interest throughout the summer, their negotiations with Napoli have yet to yield results. Meanwhile, Arsenal's potential offer could be a decisive factor, especially as Osimhen has openly expressed his desire to play in the Premier League. His arrival would significantly bolster Arsenal’s attacking options and bring a proven goal-scorer to the team. Arsenal's pursuit of Osimhen highlights their ambition to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season and enhance their competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions.
