EPL: Arsenal eager to finalise Osimhen’s transfer after Arteta’s demand

Arsenal are eager to finalise the transfer of Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen after manager Mikel Arteta’s demand.

According to Foot Mercato, the Premier League champions believe they can finalize the Osimhen transfer after Arteta urged the club’s hierarchy to ‘take’ the Nigerian international.

Arteta has made the 27-year-old his top priority in this summer’s transfer window.

However, it won’t be easy to bring Osimhen to the Emirates Stadium because the Galatasaray management has rejected many offers for the attacker.

Osimhen joined the Turkish Super Lig giants permanently from Napoli in 2025, and his current contract with the club will expire in 2029.
