Transfer News: Arsenal in talks with Osimhen's agent ahead of potential summer move

Arsenal's pursuit of Victor Osimhen appears to be gaining momentum as the Gunners aim to bolster their squad with the Napoli forward for next season.

The North London club has emerged as a prominent contender in the race to secure the services of the 25-year-old Nigerian forward.

Chelsea, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain are among the other top clubs who reportedly showed interest in the Nigerian international.

According to reports Arsenal's Sporting Director, Edu, held discussions with Osimhen's agent in 2022, prior to the Gunners' acquisition of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.

With Arsenal poised to reinforce their attacking lineup in the summer transfer window, Osimhen stands out as a primary target for the London-based club.

However, Napoli has set a hefty price tag of €130 million as the release clause in Osimhen's recent contract, indicating their firm resolve to keep their talisman.

Osimhen has netted 13 goals in 24 appearances for the Serie A champions this season.
