Arsenal are looking to become active in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their squad during this window. The Gunners are currently facing a number of injuries, with key players such as Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus sidelined in recent weeks. Given the circumstances, it would be unthinkable for the club not to reinforce their attacking options before the window closes, but they are determined to sign the best possible players.
As a result, Arsenal has set their sights on bringing in a quality striker this month and is reportedly eyeing an ambitious move for Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen. The club has been linked with Osimhen for some time, and he is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli.
Football Insider has revealed that in the final weeks of January, Arsenal could ramp up their efforts to secure the striker, and there is a belief that Osimhen might be open to the opportunity to join the Gunners. Napoli would be willing to entertain a sale if Osimhen decides to leave Galatasaray, which makes this transfer one to watch closely.
Osimhen is widely regarded as a world-class striker, and his potential arrival at the Emirates would significantly boost Arsenal’s attacking options. With the team facing an important phase of the season, signing Osimhen could help provide the extra goals needed to maintain their title push.
However, a move for the 26-year-old would not come cheaply. Given that this would be a mid-season transfer, the cost could be considerable, and Napoli would likely demand a premium for the player. Despite this, the Gunners are expected to pursue the deal if the opportunity presents itself.
Arsenal fans will be eagerly watching developments in the coming weeks, hoping the club can land a striker of Osimhen’s calibre to help them push for success in the second half of the season.

Apparently his greedy demands are the reason why he never moved from Napoli. We dont want another Özil situation at our hands
How much is Havertz earning?
So we pay him the 400k because Havertz is on 230 okay okay.
£280000pwk
Ozil – £350000pwk
Both salaries in the realms of la la land
@DaJuhi Another racist who knows nothing about OSimhen.
Osimhen was offered 600 k a week to move to Saudi Arabia, and he turned it down to stay at Napoli. At this point, Napoli extended his contract, offering 250 k a week. Chelsea wanted him, but they wanted to pay him less than Jackson.
A paltry some of 130k. If you were him, would you accept that?
Last but not least, you may want to look up his case at Napoli, where he was racially abused by his own club despite winning them a trophy.
Kvara literally requested to leave the club, and nobody made any noise about it.
Saka has been injured over a month ago, and Jesus over two weeks. And we are here, January 19, still talking about late swoops for a striker. Are we really serious about winning the league? Don’t think so!
The fact this guy is on loan and available and we havent bid for him is criminal. It should be an instant sackable offence from whoever is currently in charge of transfers. So sick of this club
There was a reason Napoli shipped him out to Galatasaray, in fact more than one reason, his attitude and demands won’t fit with us.
Exactly GB. There’s a reason none of them he big clubs, here and in Europe, wanted him.
I don’t think there’s necessarily a reason why Napoli do things.
Their director is quite a character, I would take anything he does with about half a kilo of salt 😂
So why did none of the big clubs go in for him then ?
@ Herr Drier Which big club went for Gyokeres or ISak .lol
Wages and transfer fee
He’s simply.bettrr then what we have
@GB Another liar spotted. NApoli shipped him out on loan because his employer was trying to treat him like a piece of meat. Telling the player he can’t represent his country, racially abusing the player severally, or worse, the owner scuppered Osimhens deal to leave the club.
This is a club that refused to acknowledge Osimhen was the best player until they received backlash online.
But since you must lie, tell the world: What were Osimhens demands?
What was the alleged attitude Osimehn had? If you can’t find the answers, you’re just a troll on a bandwagon. I hate where lies are peddled on a man’s name. This is how you all said IVan Toney was troubling.
@GB You barely know OSimhen, and somehow you know about his attitude and demands.
He is a serial winner, something most Arsenal players know nothing about.
We lack personalities in this team. Personally, I don’t want him here, not because of his talent or salary, but because Arteta isn’t capable of managing him, especially with his track record with African players.
Lastly, anyone who blames OSimhen instead of NApoli in the NApoli transfer saga is a bigot.Same way you all said Ivan Toney had an atitude .
Arsenal is always “considering”!!!! Flattering fans to do nothing in the end or make very late poor buys. Look at Merino. Havertz and a host of others. They will keep on dragging on and on and on and on to finally buy make-shift players. They are the architects of their poor showing.
Please sign Osimhen
In the coming ewwks? The winter transfer window in just over 2 weeks time.
And Arsenal are yet to put-in bids to sign a world class striker and versatile winger. Preferably who can play in all the front positions.
I am a Nigeria Arsenal die’hard fan man. But Osimhen has clock 26 already. Would he then because of his advancing age, fill-in into the bill of Arteta’s Arsenal project properly? Of to give Arsenal at least up to 5 years top playing service, at the top level of the game if sign at the age of 22/23 year old.
Bytheway, is Gabriel Jesus still a key player for Arsenal? Despite that he scored 5 or 6 goals in his last recent games for the Gunners.
Anyway as for me, without suffering from any delusion. GJesus has since become a squad player for Arsenal long before his latest Acl injury.
As the Gunners ate looking they can/will beat Dinamo Zagreb and Wolves in their next 2 Ucl and Epl matches. And coupled with the fact of Arsenal have become a transfer window deadlineday specialist signing top club side. They signed Redeem Sterling grow Chelsea last summer transfer window deadlineday. Though he wasn’t a high profile done by them. Unlike when they signed Thomas Partey from Ateletico Madrid in a high profile deadlineday signing.
Nevertheless, as Arsenal will at home face the reivijunated Man City in the Epl before they take on Girona at away in the Ucl.
But the Arsenal vs Man City game is a dangerous match for the Gunners. Which they have to by all means win it. So that they will keep on flying their flag in the race to win the Premiership this season.
In this wise for Arsenal. Let them try to find a highly talented world class versatile all front three positions player and sign him. And whose age should’t be more than 22-23-24 year-old at the time he’s signed.
If Arsenal sees one and succeeded to sign him at least 7 days before they play against Man City. The new signings could impact in the match positively for Arsenal that will see them beat Man City.
But i am not at all saying Arsenal should sign Osimhen this window
as a matter of fact, they can go ahead to sign him. And sign him if they want to do it. After all he’s one of the well known world class strikers on the market.
Most of our stories always generally read this way.
Much hype about a big player (cpuld be a CF) and ends up in a defender probably on a Bosman and rarely convincing enough.
Truth be told, we poorly resourced for this season ….. and there isn’t really much to it. Now writing for the same cycle to start in August!!
It is obvious, we are not ambitious, we always deceive ourselves. This deceitful approach in transfer windows are insulting most especially to the fans. The management of Arsenal right from Arteta to the top are not sensitive to the needs of the club to achieve success or win trophies. They are always ‘playing’ games in transfer windows.
Osimhen? No! Attitude so bad he was shipped off to Turkey.
Scores goals
Whether it is Osimhen/Gyokeres/Vlahovic or someone else, it has to happen in this transfer window and happen fast. Arsenal do need a striker to finish the loads of chances they create every game.
Although his current stats are not great, Sesko is my pick, he’s very quick, tall and mobile and with the right service which we can give him, will score goals.
@GB Sesko is not in the category of OSimhen, Gyokeres, and Isak.
OSimehn was an African player of the year ahead of salah and HAkimi , An MVP in seria A
Belguim highest goal scorer at one point ,
Seria, highest goal scorer ,
U17 World world cup MVP
3rd highest goal scorer in the French League, playing for Lille
No 8th in the BAllon D Or rankings in 2023.
He has several titles for both club and country. Kindly tell me what Sesko has achieved in his career to be compared to OSimhen.
Gyokeres is my pick and that because of his form otherwise i go with OSimhen but to each their own . Most of you dont watch the Bundesliga else you would know Sesko isnt even the top stiker at his own club that title goes to Openda .
It’s obvious that we are not ambitous. Clubs like Man City are domintating the market. Thats how you know serious teams. No trophy again this season. Back to Wenger days. Champions league spot will do. Who did we offend? Being a gunner is so hard
Just wondering why we didn’t go for Marmoush. That’s my idea of a striker.
Could it be about the money? Could it be that our club is not as financially strong as many of us would like to imagine?
Now the man is going to City to warm the bench because I can’t see him on the pitch as long as Haaland is fit and available.
Apparently now Edu has gone, Arteta isn’t interested in Osimhen. Interesting. He was our no1 target. I wonder who we may end up with now we have no rudder on the ship.
When loads of clubs were looking at buying a good striker Osimhen ended up at Galatasaray. I think that says something about him clearly not being good enough for Arsenal. Yes we need a proper striker, but not one that’s very likely to be an expensive flop.
Like Jesus and Haverz?
His record says otherwise
