Arsenal ‘charging’ to fulfil ‘top priority request’ from Arteta and sign £60m star

Arsenal are looking to sign the Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen this summer.

According to a report from Sebastien Denis, Arsenal are charging towards the 27-year-old Nigerian international, and he is a top priority target for manager Mikel Arteta.

Denis wrote on X: “Arsenal is charging towards Victor Osimhen! It’s a top priority request from Mikel Arteta. The Gunners are convinced they can seal the deal before the market closes. Galatasaray hasn’t set an exact price for its goalscorer, but hopes to recover at least its initial investment, around 70 M€”.

Arsenal are convinced they can get the deal done, and the Turkish outfit will demand around €70 million for the striker. Osimhen has been a reliable performer for multiple seasons, and he has shown his quality across multiple leagues. There is no doubt that he has the physicality and technical attributes to succeed in English football, and he could be a key player for Arsenal.

The Gunners need more depth in the attacking unit. Swedish international Viktor Gyokeres had a reasonably good debut campaign with them, but his overall football ability leaves a lot to be desired.

Osimhen could be an exciting option for Arsenal up front. He can score goals consistently, and he has the physicality for English football. He could help Arsenal improve further and consistently fight for major trophies.

The player is at the peak of his career, and the opportunity to move to England will be exciting for him. He will look to prove himself in the Premier League and fight for major trophies. Arsenal will look to defend the Premier League crown and win the UEFA Champions League next season. They need to keep improving the team in order to compete with the European elite.

The €70 million asking price is affordable for a club like Arsenal, and they should be able to get the deal done.

Osimhen scored 22 goals across all competitions last season and picked up eight assists as well. He could be the complete forward Arsenal need right now.
