Arsenal legend Sol Campbell has advised the Gunners to make a move for Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen is yet to extend his contract with the Serie A champions and will have a year remaining on his deal by next summer.

There are reports that the striker could leave the Partenopei in the summer.

Campbell urged the North London club to make a move for the Nigeria international.

“Osimhen. But is he going to cost too much money? There’s Ivan (Toney). I think they’re good (in other areas of the pitch). Centre forward is one thing they might need to look at and see the possibilities, see what’s out there, or wait until next season,” Campbell to Mirror Football.

“But if the right person comes along, an out-and-out striker, that can unlock those tight games, knows what to do in those positions, and also keeps defence occupied to then free up other people, they should maybe look at it Christmas time and if not, definitely next season. The right person will offload the pressure on the team, I think.”

The 24-year-old has scored six goals in eight league appearances for the Partenopei this season.
