Arsenal are currently at the bottom of the Premier League table due to a recent dip in form. Despite this, Gary Neville remains optimistic about their chances of winning the league.
In addition, Arsenal might look to bolster their squad in the upcoming January transfer window to reignite their title ambitions.
Throughout the summer, there were rumors that Arsenal were interested in signing a new striker, but they ultimately chose not to pursue that route.
However, recent reports suggest that Arsenal is now in talks with Napoli about a striker once described as âone of the very best players in world football,â according to a Turkish source.
The player in question is Victor Osimhen, who has established himself as one of the top strikers globally in recent years.
According to Sabah, Arsenal are in discussions with Napoli about Osimhen, along with Premier League rivals Chelsea and Newcastle United. Other clubs, including Fenerbahce and Al-Hilal, are also reportedly interested in the 25-year-old.
Osimhen’s connection to Arsenal goes back some time. Although he had expressed interest in joining Arsenal, the Gunners pulled out of the pursuit toward the end of the transfer window. After a summer full of speculation, Osimhen moved from Napoli to Galatasaray on a season-long loan.
Galatasaray is now keen on making the move permanent, reportedly offering Napoli around ÂŁ42 million for the striker, according to Turkish outlet Sozcu.
Italian football expert Adriano del Monte praised Osimhen as âone of the very best players in world footballâ last year, and his impressive goal tally further supports this assessment.
Given his abilities, it wouldnât be surprising if Galatasaray faces competition from Arsenal and other top clubs for Osimhenâs signature.
