Arsenal are scheming to acquire on-loan Napoli striker Victor Osimhen during the summer transfer period, with a proposal nearing £65m being crafted by the Gunners, as per Italian source Tuttojuve.
The article further states that the North London team are prepared to activate his release clause by submitting a €75m (£61m) offer to secure the striker, who has notched 27-goal contributions (22 goals and five assists) across all tournaments this season.
Osimhen boosted his count with two goals on Sunday, converting a penalty and adding another in Galatasaray’s 3-3 stalemate versus Kasimpasa.
Turkish reporter Yağız Sabuncuoğlu also noted that Arsenal are intercepting Manchester United’s pursuit of Osimhen.
The Gunners are scouring the market this summer to bring in a fresh centre-forward following injuries sustained by Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.
Osimhen is presently on loan with Turkish League reigning champions, Galatasaray, and he’s not anticipated to head back to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona this summer, as he’s set to depart with a year remaining on his contract.
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
