Arsenal and Chelsea are vying to secure Victor Osimhen for their squads in the upcoming transfer window after he announced his departure from Napoli.
The Nigerian striker has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in Europe since the conclusion of the last season, during which he played a crucial role in Napoli’s Serie A victory.
While Napoli sought to secure his long-term commitment, Osimhen opted for an extension that included a release clause.
Osimhen has consistently delivered impressive performances for his team, and his displays for Nigeria at the AFCON have attracted even more attention from clubs.
Although Arsenal has been scoring prolifically recently, there is a widely recognised need for an effective number nine, a role Osimhen could potentially fill.
Chelsea is also showing interest, but according to a report on Sport Witness, Osimhen is inclined to join a club competing in the Champions League, which currently positions Arsenal as the favourites.
With Arsenal’s strong performance, including a potential Premier League win and a likely top-four finish this season, they present an appealing prospect for Osimhen.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Osimhen is a top striker, and if we sign him or Ivan Toney in the summer, we should have solved our goalscoring problem.
“…solved our goalscoring problem”.
11 goals in 2 games, 21 in 5 games.
Goalscoring problem?
Just the goal scoring problem I like
JA opinion states we have “goal scoring problem”.
Bit of an own goal by you then Ad Martin to talk of a goal scoring problem , a day after we scored out 21 st goal without a specialist striker in just five games.
That odd comment rings a tad hollow just now I seriously suggest!
Not too sold on Oshimen after watching him during the Afcon.
Any striker that works tirelessly of the ball can’t score you goals.
Osimhen And GJesus are almost of the same mould. But osimhen will score more than GJesus with the right service.
Osimhen on the other hand is as powerful as Haaland but Haaland doesn’t work / run more like Osimhen.
Osimhen or Toney any day.
