Victor Osimhen is reportedly waiting for an Arsenal offer as Napoli looks to cash in on the £102 million-rated striker. The Nigerian forward, 25, has attracted interest from Premier League clubs, with former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte set to take charge at Napoli. However, Napoli insists on the full release clause amount, which has deterred Chelsea from pursuing him.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United are still considering bids. Osimhen is keen on a move to a London-based Premier League club. Incoming Napoli chief Conte is rumored to prefer a more physical striker, potentially eyeing Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku, though a part-exchange deal involving Osimhen is not currently on the table.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is contemplating a bid close to the record £105 million paid for Declan Rice last summer. While Osimhen excites fans, RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, a cheaper alternative, is also being considered. Arsenal aims to finalize any deal for Sesko before the Euro 2024 start date of June 14.
