However, the ultimate goal is to win the title, and Arsenal will need to strengthen their squad this summer to pip Manchester City to the crown next season.
Victor Osimhen is one of the best strikers in the world. The Nigerian has been a wanted man for a couple of years now. A number of big clubs around Europe are chasing him, and Arsenal have been linked too.
The Gunners have had Osimhen on their radar for a long time. His agent even visited the Gunners training ground to discuss a move a few years ago. No move materialised then, but Osimhen hasn’t forgotten about Arsenal.
The Nigerian is expected to leave Napoli when the transfer window opens in June, and Multiple reports have claimed that the striker wants to move to Stamford Bridge as well.
However, Italian journalist Valter de Maggio has now revealed that Osimhen actually wants to sign for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal this summer.
It has been claimed that the Napoli star is ‘waiting’ for an offer from Arsenal and will only consider other offers, including ones from Saudi Arabia, if the Gunners don’t make a move to sign him.
De Maggio said on Kiss Kiss Napoli: “Napoli would evaluate an Arab offer for Osimhen who, however, wants the Premier [League].
“He is waiting for Arsenal, but if a real proposal does not arrive, he would evaluate [offers from Saudi] Arabia.”
