Osimhen's January move to Chelsea cannot be ruled out

Arsenal eyes Osimhen as Napoli set hefty asking price

Premier League side Arsenal eyes in-form Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

The Super Eagles star has become one of the most sought-after forwards in world football after 21 goals in 44 league appearances for Napoli.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is targeting a big striker signing this summer after the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nkeitah are also entering the final months of their respective contracts.

Gazzetta dello Sport – via Sport Witness – have reported that Osimhen is on Arsenal’s radar.

However, their pursuit of Osimhen will depend on whether they have enough to cash to meet Napoli’s asking price of £84million.

The north London club are currently in fourth on the Premier League and securing Champions League football could go a long way to signing Osimhen next summer.

Manchester United and Newcastle United have also been linked with the 23-year-old.
