Arsenal's director contacts Napoli about Victor Osimhen's potential transfer
Posted : 31 August 2023
Arsenal's Sporting Director, Edu Gaspar, has initiated contact with Napoli regarding the acquisition of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, as the Premier League club aims to reinforce their squad with a top-notch striker in January.
Seeking to alleviate the scoring burden carried by players like Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, and Jesus in the previous season, Arsenal intends to secure a reliable number 9 to boost their title aspirations and competitiveness against teams like Manchester City.
Following encouragement from Osimhen's agent Roberto Calenda, Edu Gaspar reached out to Napoli's President Aurelio De Laurentiis to inquire about Osimhen's availability.
Despite interest from Saudi Arabia, Osimhen, whose current contract with Napoli runs until 2025, appears reluctant to extend his stay at the Italian club.
The Nigerian striker, who netted his 100th club goal recently, had previously engaged with Arsenal during his youth. Last season, he recorded an impressive 31 goals in 39 games for Napoli.
