To some Gooners, the 2022–23 Premier League season is history, and all they can think about now is what the summer has to offer and looking forward to next season. When it comes to next season, many would want to see Arteta strengthen his attack and believe he has to add another reliable goalscorer to his squad.
Jesus has done a job this season, restoring Arsenal’s attack to its former glory, but the club still needs to recruit another solid striker to push them to the next level. It may be difficult to sign a talented striker because many top strikers are currently focused on their club’s projects; however, the pundit and Arsenal graduate Jay Bothroyd believes that Arsenal should try to pursue Victor Osimhen.
On FourFourTwo, Bothroyd declares, “I would say we need a striker. I look at Arsenal now, and I see Martinelli, Jesus, and Saka. Saka is one of the best wingers in the world, and Jesus, as much as he’s good for Arsenal, his best work comes from the wide areas. He doesn’t convince me he can score 20 Premier League goals every year. Even at City, he didn’t do it. We need an out-and-out goalscorer; for me, I would like to see Osimhen come from Napoli; he’s strong, he’s powerful, good link-up play, he’s fast, and he has an eye for goal.”
If I were Arteta, I would gladly follow Bothroyd’s advice, but I wonder if I could financially sign both Rice and Osimhen during the same transfer window. I doubt it; the two swoops might use all the funds for transfers this summer. Even so, why not try and get them both?
The two could make Arsenal untouchable.

If we got Rice and Osinhen, that will be a statement of intent and make us really strong.
Yes. Osimhen is the deal. 100m pounds deal. He should be prioritized over Declan Rice. If Arsenal cant afford to do both deals at the same time, then Declan Rice deal can wait.
We have Jorgihno in midfield who can do a decent job. But we need an aggressive goal scorer that can score goals.
If Xhaka leaves the club, we can go for Onana from Everton as a cheaper Option. Tielemans can also replace Xhaka.
But Osimhen should be done. He is good in the air, quick and precise with his shooting. A nightmare for any defence.
If we could get him, I’m sure we would. It sounds like the napoli manager is leaving, which will make it harder for them to keep their best players, I expect, but the competition for osimhen will be significant, and he obviously won’t be cheap
Victor Osimhen is the kind of player Arsenal should get for next season, if they really wants to compete and if they go for mediocre players, I will understand it is just another race for a top 4 finish next season.
Top talent extremely brave when you consider the injury he has been through, has pace to burn technically sound.
Oshien is what I call an attack bully, but he won’t come cheap had Wenger been more persistent this lad would have been an Arsenal player as the legendary Frenchman did like him as a teenager.
He may have changed his mind at the last minute joining Arsenal many moons ago.
