Arsenal reaches out to sign Victor Osimhen. Arsenal has initiated communication regarding the potential transfer of Victor Osimhen. The Premier League club is reportedly aiming to secure the Super Eagles striker from Napoli, where the 25-year-old Nigerian international has gained recognition as one of Europe’s most prolific strikers, boasting 67 goals in 119 appearances across all competitions. Osimhen, who netted 26 goals in 32 Serie A matches last season, securing the Golden Boot and helping Napoli clinch their first Scudetto title in three decades, is now a heightened target for Arsenal. According to reports from Italian outlet CalcioNapoli 24, via football.london, Mikel Arteta’s team has made direct contact to explore the possibility of bringing Osimhen to the Emirates Stadium.
It’s emphasized that the Gunners are firmly interested in signing the striker, who is believed to have a £112m release clause in his recent Napoli contract. This development follows Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis’s announcement that Osimhen will depart the club in the summer. De Laurentiis suggested potential destinations such as Real Madrid, PSG, Arsenal, and Chelsea, with the latter two Premier League clubs considered the primary contenders for his signature.
