Arsenal are reportedly in a chase to find a striker as both Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette are set to leave the club.
Dusan Vlahovic has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates, however,
Goal correspondent Charles Watts has denied the claims over a potential move for the Fiorentina striker.
Gunners may have unveiled a fresh target in Victor Osimhen, after Mikel Arteta’s comments at the Arsene Wenger film premiere on Tuesday evening. Speaking at the Premiere, Arteta said:
“I would like to recover a lot of things that he did and I would like him to be more present at the club.
"I think the players would love him, they will benefit, they will be inspired to have him around and I think for the club it would be a huge boost.”
The Spaniard's invitation for Wenger to return to the club would potentially open the door for a potential transfer of Napoli striker Osimhen.
Italian journalist Paolo Bargiggia revealed that the Nigeria international was close to joining Arsenal last year before completing a move to the Naples-based club instead and Osimhen himself has previously claimed that the Gunners had enquired for him as a youngster.
Speaking to
The Independent back in 2020, Osimhen said:
“I spoke with Arsene Wenger after the tournament (Under-17 World Cup) ended and he wanted me to come to Arsenal.
“I had a lot of options. Barcelona; Inter Milan; Atletico Madrid; Juventus and the rest. Arsenal was a good option but it wasn’t the best at the time. I wanted to start playing as soon as I turned 18."
