Contact Made: Arsenal turn attention to Osimhen deal - Exclusive
Today at 02:30 AM
Arsenal have turned their attention to signing Napoli superstar Victor Osimhen this month, sources have told Football Insider.
The Gunners are exploring the market for a late-window striker signing after losing Gabriel Jesus to injury for the rest of the season.
Sources have said that Arsenal are exploring a deal for Osimhen, who is on a season-long loan at Galatasaray, and have made contact over what would be a sensational late-deal.
The Premier League club’s interest is only at the early stages and it is not known if a transfer for the prolific forward will be possible in the next fortnight.
Arsenal and Mikel Arteta need forward reinforcements
Osimhen has been thriving on loan at Galatasaray after falling out of favour at Napoli. The Nigerian striker has scored 14 goals and provided six assists in just 18 appearances this season, showcasing his quality.
This development follows reports from Football Insider in December, revealing that Arsenal are monitoring Osimhen for a potential transfer.
Injuries are plaguing their attack, including Bukayo Saka and the long-term absence of Jesus. Fans are urging the club to sign a striker in the January transfer window following these injuries.
Currently, Kai Havertz is the only striker available to Mikel Arteta. However, he is struggling for form, having failed to score in his last three matches.
Concerns are growing over the right-wing position, as Raheem Sterling remains the only fit option in that role.
Supporters believe that Arteta is pressing the board for reinforcements after his recent comments during a press conference ahead of their clash with Aston Villa, hinting at the need for attacking reinforcements.
Whether a move for the striker will proceed remains uncertain, given his impressive season in Turkey.
In other news, Arsenal are to step up efforts to sign in this position before the transfer window ends.
