Arsenal and Galatasaray hold talks over possible deal for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen

Arsenal and Galatasaray are holding talks over a possible deal to take Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to Emirates Stadium, according to The Telegraph. Mikel Arteta wants the Gunners to sign another number 9 this summer, with Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez the top target. However, bringing the Argentine to North London has proven tricky and Arsenal are considering other options. Osimhen has been linked with the Gunners in the past and the 27-year-old has come up in talks as Gala look to sign Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri.

Osimhen ended last season with 15 league goals in 22 Turkish Super Lig games having bagged 26 league goals in 29 league games in 2024-25.
