Is it now easier for Arsenal to make a move for Victor Osimhen? It appears that the path is clear for them to take. Considering the recent claims from Italy, it’s hard not to wonder about the situation. There’s been some talk about Chelsea not pursuing Osimhen, so he’s patiently waiting for Arsenal to show interest. He’s really keen on a move to the Premier League, especially to play in London.
Now the big question is whether Arsenal can actually afford him?
Rumour has it that to let him go, Napoli won’t settle for anything less than his release clause, which is a whopping £110 million. However, according to a report from Corriere dello Sport from Italy, Arsenal may have a shot at signing the striker for a lot less than his release clause.
Napoli might consider allowing Arsenal to pay a reasonable fee for Osimhen if they include Emile Smith Rowe, or Takehiro Tomiyasu in their offer.
A potential opportunity for Arsenal to sign a proven goalscorer has emerged, and now it’s up to Arsenal to decide.
It’s probably not going to happen that Tomiyasu will leave this summer, but it’s about time Emile Smith Rowe moved on. Arsenal could easily ask for £20 to £30 million for Smith Rowe. If they can use the playmaker’s transfer fee to cover part of Osimhen’s costs, then bringing him to Arsenal is a move that the Gunners can manage without hindering other deals, like for a midfielder and a left back.
Who would you swap for Osimhen?

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS!please contact us through this link…
In a heartbeat
Yet this is a fanbase where some wouldn’t take Mbappe lol
Agree with you. We need someone to just give us that something else. His stats compared with Nkeiteah & Jesus,is a big upgrade. Tomiyasu I rate highly but injury prone. ESR, Arsenal have advanced to a point he’s not going to get to. He’s also injury prone.Go for it is my opinion.
If this an option & Napoli will reduce the price then Smithrowe can gather some money but Tomi isn’t moving anywhere anytime soon just singed a new deal did he not.
Osimhen would be an amazing signing and will make teams for us even more. £75m plus Emile?
Eddie will pull in £30m, Nelson maybe £15m & that would cover most of that fee for Ana amazing upgrade.
Jesus, Trossard, Saka & Martinelli all can play the wings, Kia is the other option in height.
Jesus can play the wings also. Ramsdale only signed a contract extension last season. It keeps their price up & the clubs got more control. So…£45m Tomi & ESR + £57m. Good business if anything around those numbers.
It a grate news for Arsenal.
I think Arsenal should agreed for swap deal with Smith and pay some money so that we can have a good striker like Victor
I would prefer Sesko to Osihmen whose stats for last campaign weren’t very good. Sesko is still young and more affordable. Buying him will leave us with much room to recruit 2 defensive midfielders to allow Rice to play 8. We always win when he plays there;and we score more goals; the game flows.
Osihmen is an injury worry as well as he will abandon us for African games
I agree with selling ESR, but allowing both he and Tomiyashu to leave in exchange for Osimhen doesn’t make sense. First off he’s had his injury problems last season, and there’s always an issue with African players when the African Cup of Nations come round, coinciding with a crunch time in the season. Do for me it’s a no go.
The AFCON is in summer next year
Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus.😏
Pep sold Sterling and Jesus, and bought in Haaland to take his side to the next level.
Mourinho in 2014 sold Eto, Torres and Demba altogether and brought in Diego Costa and we saw the results.
Arteta should go all out for Victor Osihmen.
We need an Aggressive, bullish and Clinical striker like him to win the EPL and UCL.
This is not time for Havertz and Sesko experiments.😐
I watched him many times at Napoli and noticed that Osimhen is a Drogba aggressive type striker and perfect against low blocking team with strength to push through and open up gaps.
However he will be relying on crosses, so Arsenal would have to alter their style of forward play slightly to accommodate him.
Their is of course his injury status. In fact he is at this moment injured according to Italian media.
We all know the English premier League is a lot rougher than the Italian League, so would he get more injuries in England.
There are a lot of pluses but also a lot of minuses.
When Edu gets his 180 page dossier, would he be worried about all the minuses and the fact that he is at this moment unable to pass a fitness test with him being injured.
I would prefer the German player of the year WERTZ, who can dribble his way through a low blocking defence and clinically score a goal. Wertz is a cross between Henry and Bergkamp and an unbelievable talent. Next to Mbappe, he is probably the world’s best striker at this present time. Watch Wertz on YouTube before taking my word for it. Wertz is very very technical and clinical. Perfect for Arsenal.
The difference is Wertz isn’t available.
swap deals are back page fodder, never happen, and the only I can think of was a disaster
and ESR value a rounding error on Osihmen £110m
Osimhen is simply too much of our budget given more urgent need elsewhere in the squad
I think osimhen is the right striker for now is good at finishing part I believe the team will go far with osimhen ❤️
Osimhen is the right person we need in Arsenal team
