Arsenal are still looking for new signings in the transfer market with just five days left in the window to shut down.
The Gunners have strengthened their defense and midfield this summer but more additions are needed if they want to topple the dominance of Manchester City in the Premier League.
The North Londoners have been linked with a move for a striker all summer but manager Mikel Arteta has shown faith in his current attacking options.
Brentford’s Ivan Toney, Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres and Napoli frontman Victor Osimhen have all been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer.
According to Repubblica, Arsenal have overtaken Chelsea in the race to sign Napoli’s Nigerian striker Osimhen.
Both the Premier League rivals are looking to add an attacker to their squad and they have identified Osimhen as one of their targets.
The Serie A striker has been one of the best players in the world in his position for quite some time now.
In 2022/23, Osimhen guided the Italian giants to success in Serie A by winning the league title and showing his ability to perform at the top level, consistently.
Napoli are looking to offload the attacker as they have already signed Romelu Lukaku to lead their attack next season under the leadership of manager Antonio Conte.
Osimhen is keen to leave the club and the Serie A giants feel that a move to the Premier League for the striker is the only solution.
Arsenal lead rivals Chelsea in Victor Osimhen race
As per the report, Napoli would prefer to move the attacker to Arsenal instead of Chelsea.
A swift solution is needed to the Osimhen situation as the end of the transfer window is fast approaching.
It remains to be seen if Arsenal are willing to go ahead with their interest in the prolific attacker when it looks like Arteta has made peace with his current options of attackers.
Osimhen would be ideal for the Gunners and provide them a ruthless presence upfront but the question remains, can Arsenal afford to sign him this summer?
I Think Arsenal Should Go For Viktor Gyokeres Instead Of Victor Osimhen. Also, They Should Sign A Left Footed Player Like Raphinha From Barcelona To Complement Saka.
Let arsenal go for Viktor gyekores he rains goals six goals 4 assist in just 4 games what could be the most quality of a striker you are looking for. Osimhen can not play 3 matches without being injured
You are right.
I think osimhen is the best
Gokere is more than osimhen by far and he has proven that so far……
Viktor Gyekores all the way. He is more a goal machine than Victor Osimhen
You talk rubbish osinhem is the total package gyekores has only played top level for two seasons now osinhem might gt injured but he’s still a goal machine out with injury or not but still bags 17 goals and he is consistant at that like Drogba was and Diego Costa
Viktor Gyekores all the way and he will feet in well
Olumo. Viktor Gyokeres is a good one for Arsenal because he is steel a young man for the feature of the club.
Gyokeres is way better than Osi
Gyokeres is my choice if I am Edu.
Gyokeres is better by far
From my opinion ..looking @ the pedigree of both strikers…the two are equal to the task but looking @ it from the value n injuries point of view…i will go for Gyokeres bcos i av seen him played againt Arsenal n is a well position attacker too…
How?
we need mikel arteta to sign victor osimhen this summer
I think if we can have anyone of this two striker arsenal could have won premiership last season let us go for situable one that can challenge Manchester city goal machine.
Gyokeres is my man
Osinhem has that much more to offer his experience at top level for 1 even if he gt injured as all players will gt he’s still will achieve 17 plus goals consistant gyrokes has not really been tested even if he’s doing OK at his club and has nowhere near osinhem goal tally
