According to the latest transfer news, Victor Osimhen may now end up joining Arsenal. The Gunners are trying to be good all over the pitch. They had a good 23/24 season. But, they were not able to win any major trophies. Liverpool were atop of the Premier League midway through the season. But, they would falter. Arteta’s men made the most of the situation. They were on course to win the title until the very end. But, Man City would edge them on the final day. Pep won them their 4th league title in a row. The London Reds also made a return to the UCL last time. They would fare well through the tournament. Eventually, Bayern Munich would knock them out in the quarter finals.
The Gunners were quite in the first half of the transfer window. They patiently waited for the PSR-hit clubs to make their moves first. Since then, they have gotten very active. Firstly, they made David Raya move permanent. Then, they signed Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. At the same time, they are now very close to signing Mikel Merino. Now, as per the transfer news, Arsenal are on course to sign Victor Osimhen. Signing a top class striker will surely make them tough to beat.
Arsenal moving fast for Victor Osimhen move
The 25-year-old striker has made clear of his intentions of leaving Napoli from weeks. But, no club has been able to sign him so far. Paris Saint-Germain were the first to make a move for him. The Nigerian has also said yes to PSG move. They were also offering him a big pay raise. But, PSG’s £76 million bid was rejected by Napoli. They we Their asking price remains high. Chelsea are also keen on signing him. Arsenal may have to pay big time if they want to sign Victor Osimhen.
The Gunners are in search for a top class striker. Gabriel Jesus is good but injury prone. Eddie Nketiah isn’t that great. He is more of a back up for them. Kai Havertz has been good in front of goal. But, he is not a proper striker and also very inconsistent. The Nigerian could be a great option for Arteta. The 25-year-old has £110 million release clause in his contract. As per football-talk.co.uk news, Arsenal won’t be paying that much for Victor Osimhen transfer. Signing him won’t be easy for them.
Will the move happen
Arsenal are trying to land Victor Osimhen deal as per the transfer news. But the move may also collapse if they don’t agree on a fee. The Gunners consider Viktor Gyokeres an an alternative. The 26-year-old was in superb form last season. He was key in Sporting’s league title triumph. As per transfermarkt.co.in, he had 58 G/A in 50 appearances this campaign. The good thing about Gyokeres is that he costs a lot less. It is safe to say if the Gunners sign either of them, they will be very tough to beat. Fans will be hoping their side can make a signing soon.
Arsenal can use Victor Osimhen at the front. He is a top finisher. At the same time, he is very quick. Also, he is good in the air. But, the Gunners will be considering that he is a little injury prone. No point in buying a good player, if you can’t field them. Another reason why Gyokeres could be a better option. But, as of now, the transfer news suggests that Arsenal want the Nigerian. Without a doubt, he is quality and could be a key player for Arteta. Fans will want him to stay at top fitness levels if he ends up joining at the Emirates.
