Arsenal have reportedly been in contact over a potential transfer move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray.

The Nigeria international has been superb during his loan spell in Turkey, contributing 14 goals and six assists so far this season, with the Gunners now exploring a move, according to Football Insider.

Osimhen showed himself to be a world class centre-forward during his time at Napoli, and it was a bit of a surprise when he joined Galatasaray in the summer.

“I CRIED when I talked to Arsene Wenger” – which former Arsenal star says leaving the club was a BIG mistake?

Arsenal are surely precisely the kind of club Osimhen should be playing for at this stage in his career, with the 26-year-old more than good enough to be leading the line for a top team in one of the big five leagues.

We’re coming towards the end of the January window now, but it seems Arsenal might still have a surprise in store for us.

Football Insider report that initial contacts have been made by the north London giants, though it’s not yet clear if a deal will end up being possible in the middle of the season.

Arsenal fans will surely be desperate to see a big name like this heading to the Emirates Stadium, though, with Osimhen looking like a much-needed upgrade on Kai Havertz.

The Germany international had a decent run in Mikel Arteta’s side last season, but he’s not really an out-and-out striker, and that’s perhaps starting to show now.

Arsenal have played some good football this season, but they’ve often missed some really good chances, and someone like Osimhen would surely be better at putting them away.

Benjamin Sesko has also been linked with Arsenal, but it remains to be seen if Osimhen might be a more realistic option for this late on in January.

  1. It is the usual ploy of The Arsenal FC mgt , sounding out big name to their fans but knowing fully well they will not sign the player…..so , Arsenal fans don’t bet your money on osimhen coming

  2. but why aren’t you signing players , we’re always close to winning the trophy but signing a profile striker is always missing

  3. Sometimes I feel Arsenal FC are the Witch or wizard to themselves. You have identified your problem, opportunity to resolve this problem is here (winter transfer window). Osihmen is within reach to spearhead our centre forward. Why not sign him?
    The league is still open, champions league is there , carabao cup can still be upturned.

  4. Arsenal is usually frustratingly slow with making decisions to sign players when the urgent need is really there. City decided on Marmoush and 1 week after, the deal was done. Arsenal have been talking about a striker since the departure of Obamenyan, hahahaha!

    It’s terrible. I don’t know why I’m still a supporter here

  5. Just like someone who wants to go to heaven, yet refuses to die first. We want the Trophy but cannot bring out money to “Buy” A World Class Goal Poacher. We Are Classic in other Departments, except for the “STRIKER” Position.

  6. If Arsenal manager failed to signed a centre forward this January, believe it or not Arsenal is winning NO Trophy this season thanks.
