With very little time remaining within the transfer window, Arsenal have shifted all their focus towards the Serie A as they prepare to make an audacious attempt to sign the Napoli marksman Victor Osimhen.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Gunners are set to submit a lucrative €70M offer to the Partenopei for the 23 year-old striker.
As it stands, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah’s contracts are set to expire at the end of the season. In addition, the out-cast Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seems to be destined towards joining another club following his rough patch with Mikel Arteta.
With the Serie A leading-goalscorer Dusan Vlahovic selecting Juventus as his next destination over the Premier League giants, the club officials view Victor Osimhen as the perfect alternative that can help fill the potential void within their squad through his immense amount of speed, his astounding finishing ability, and his impressive work-rate off the ball.
Since joining the Serie A giants during the 2020-21 Serie A campaign, the promising Nigerian international has maintained an incredible run of form as he scored 19 goals and provided three assists in 46 appearances for the Azzurri.
Unfortunately for Arsenal’s sake, they are facing a great deal of competition as Newcastle are also prepared to chase after the Napoli marksman after Atalanta have shutdown the Magpies’ offer for Duvan Zapata. Regardless, the club officials are ready to enter a brutal bidding war in order to lure the rising star to the Emirates Stadium before the transfer window closes.
