Arsenal‘s hunt for a top striker takes another twist! A reported target, Victor Osimhen, faces a life-changing decision. A massive contract offer could see him swap Europe for Saudi Arabia. Gunners fans are watching closely.
Will Victor Osimhen turn his back on Arsenal?
Victor Osimhen has reportedly received a mind-blowing offer from Al Hilal. The Saudi Pro League club are tempting the Napoli striker with a huge contract. Consequently, his potential move to Arsenal is now in serious doubt. The offer totals around £140 million over four years.
Osimhen also spent last season on loan at Galatasaray. He netted 37 goals across all competitions. Furthermore, he helped the club retain their Super Lig title. However, he still dreams of playing in the Premier League.
Arsenal and Manchester United have both shown interest. However, both clubs are also pursuing alternative targets. As a result, Osimhen is exploring all his options carefully.
Could Arsenal really miss out on Osimhen?
Napoli’s manager, Antonio Conte, seemingly has no plans for Osimhen. He sanctioned the striker’s loan departure last year. The Serie A club now want to cash in on him this summer. They are open to a permanent move.
Osimhen previously rejected an approach from Al Hilal. However, he is now seriously considering their improved offer. This deal would instantly make him one of the world’s highest-paid players. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest has cooled after signing Liam Delap.
Meanwhile, Arsenal continue to assess their options. They need a proven goalscorer to challenge for the title. Therefore, missing out on Osimhen would be a blow.
Arsenal linked with shock move for in-form winger?
Elsewhere, Bayern Munich are rumored to want Gabriel Martinelli. Arsenal have reportedly rejected a transfer approach for the Brazilian winger. He is seen as crucial to Mikel Arteta‘s plans. Martinelli’s pace and skill are vital for the Gunners.
Moreover, former player Micah Richards believes another player would be a “good fit” for Arsenal. Could a new face be arriving at the Emirates soon? the Gunners are clearly looking to bolster their squad.
The summer transfer window is heating up. Arsenal fans eagerly await news of new signings. Will they land a top striker and keep hold of their key players?
Author’s take
Losing out on Osimhen would be a major setback for Arsenal. They need a clinical finisher to compete with Manchester City. However, the Gunners have other targets in mind. Hopefully, they will secure a top-quality striker before the window closes. Furthermore, retaining Martinelli is essential for maintaining squad strength. Arsenal need to make smart moves this summer to build on last season’s progress.
