Arsenal’s pursuit of a new striker continues to dominate headlines, but they could be at risk of missing out on Victor Osimhen, with Liverpool now stepping up their efforts to bring the Nigerian to the Premier League. While the Gunners remain focused on finalising a deal for either Benjamin Sesko or Viktor Gyokeres, Osimhen has emerged as a priority target for another top English club.
Osimhen, Gyokeres and Sesko are all regarded as top-tier forwards who would add significant quality to Arsenal’s attacking options. Among sections of the fanbase, there is a clear preference for Osimhen, given his proven record at the highest level. Despite this, Arsenal have yet to progress any talks for the Napoli striker since the season ended.
Liverpool Pushes Ahead in Osimhen Race
While Arsenal continue to work on its primary options, Liverpool appears to have accelerated their negotiations for Osimhen. According to Tuttomercatoweb via Juve FC, the Reds have submitted a proposal to Napoli that could prove difficult to refuse. The reported offer includes both Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa in exchange for the Nigerian forward.
Napoli are believed to hold a strong interest in the two Liverpool players, making this a potentially appealing package. If the Italian side agrees to the deal, Osimhen could soon be leading the line at Anfield, strengthening Liverpool’s attacking unit ahead of the new campaign.
Arsenal Risk Missing Out Due to Delay
Arsenal’s transfer strategy has so far centred around Gyokeres and Sesko, but negotiations for both players have faced complications. Should these difficulties persist, the Gunners might be forced to reconsider their stance on Osimhen. However, by the time that happens, Liverpool could have already secured an agreement, leaving Arsenal without a chance to enter the race effectively.
With the transfer window moving quickly, timing is essential. Osimhen’s future appears to be heading toward Merseyside unless Arsenal act decisively and reopen talks. As it stands, the opportunity to sign one of the world’s most prolific forwards may soon slip through their grasp.

I think Arsenal have looked at him and passed on him for some reason, perhaps there is a problem in his attitude or whatever, but he was shipped out on loan to Galatasaray last season by Napoli and they won Serie A without him.
Napoli and Galatasaray also won titles with him him mate
It’s a shame that we are constantly giving reasons why we can’t get these players
Why do we keep making excuses for the club
Go get the best possible players to win us the title
How many clubs are fighting over Sesko or Gyokeres?
Less than a handful combined for both.
We’re not after him doesn’t mean he’s got attitude issues. It’s like many good players whom we and other clubs are not going after at the moment. Like a certain Jonathan David.
He cloud actually have attitude issues but I don’t think so
This is the reason we win nothing, flimsy excuses
@GB Can you guys stop lying about this individual? At this point it is getting disgusting.
Arsenal didn’t pass up on him. Arsenal hasn’t even made a bid for him, and truthfully, I wouldn’t want him to be coached by someone like Arteta.
Secondly, if Liverpool gets him, we can conclude next season is over.
Napoli shipped out Kvara as well as Kim, and they won. That is a testament to good coaching. At Arsenal, we would make excuses.
Lastly, the player also has turned down 800k a week, so the lie that he loves money is also debunked.
Liverpool will be really scary if they get him. Last season I thought they won the title on being extremely consistent, and getting the most out of the brilliant Salah – they deserved it and played like champions imo, but I didn’t think they were overly scary in a one off match. Thought they were tough but beatable. With wirtz and osimhen alongside Salah, I think they’d be a real problem in any game.
The two strikers we’re most linked to are less of a sure thing – gyokeres simply might not work at all (hard to say for sure) and sesko is still in the potential phase of his career, and may never reach that potential in the worst case. Bit of a concern imo.
We may have well just hand the Merseyside club the premier league before a single ball is kicked next season if this información is true.
If Liverpool sign this attack bully , with the likes of Florians Wirtz services, this would be some window for the Reds.
And Remembering they weren’t exactly weak before
Meanwhile we have a thousand and one excuses for not pursuing same players.
Too expensive
High wages
Attitude problem
Too old
Doesn’t fit our style
Etc
At the end, it might well end up the same way…2nd place trophy. By the way, I feel we might actually end up 3rd if City bounces back
The tide is turning
Gooners starting to question things
Who’s made those excuses dgr8xt?
Certainly not the club, as I’ve visited the official website every day and no mention of him has been made.
It’s the fans who do this and we know nothing about what the club is actually doing do we?
While the naysayers believe he has attitude problems, I see a very passionate player that ply his trade with energy, ruthlessness and a team player, if he does join Liverpool then the attacking lines of Diaz, Osihmen and Sallah will have every opposition teams peeing on their pants
I just hope they pee IN their pants Rosco!! 👖
Ken1945,
Your comic timing is improving.😂 I just knew you had a sense of humour.
And I did notice your kind words regarding my sense of humour when responding to Dan the other day. Saying how you leave the humour to me.
Don’t under estimate your comedy, we all have it in us. We just need to let it out, and have a good laugh.😂👍
For me I think osimhen would be the player arsenal need to win the premier league next season.
If osimhen were to be in arsenal’s squad this season, with the goals he scored with galatasary, arsenal would have been the league champion
ARSENAL NEEDS BRANTHWAITE OR NATHAN COLLINS, M ROGERS, EZE, ZUBIMENDI IF PARTEY LEAVES AND 2 STRIKERS ( WATKINS OR WISSA ) AND (GYOKERES OR B SESKO OR OSIMBEN)
If Osimhen joins Liverpool, we might as well just hand them the league. They are plugging every hole. What will disgrace everyone will be the salary they offer him and the transfer, which will be lower than Sesko’s, and worse, we will find out all the lies told about the player to give excuses for this club will be laid bare for all to see.
If Arsenal really want Osimhen (do they?) then they’ll need to move quickly and decisively. The current hold-ups reported around possible Arsenal moves for the likes of Gyokeres or Sesko won’t do here, I think.
If osimhen signs for any club in the EPL, it would be close to deadline day especially for arsenal ,( I wish)
If Liverpool do get him, osimhens work would be made alot easier, with the calibre of players he would be playing with.
If Chelsea do need him, they would be ready to bench delap or Jackson.
We wait for deadline day
