Greetings there, Gooner… The summer transfer window may be months away, but for Arsenal, who have been at their best this season, dominating the Premier League, we can’t help but talk about it because this coming transfer window will be big, and it could be the window in which Arteta finally closes the quality gap between his side and Manchester City.
There are many deals you want Arteta to complete, and one of them will undoubtedly be the acquisition of a dependable striker capable of competing with Manchester City’s goal machine, Erling Haaland. So, where can Arteta get his hands on this goal machine? There are many high-flying attackers in Europe, but I think you will agree with me that if he signed Napoli hotshot Victor Osimhen, he couldn’t go wrong.
The 24-year-old has 19 goals in 21 Serie A appearances. However, in order to acquire Osimhen, Arsenal will have to compete with Europe’s best, so do they stand a chance of persuading him to join them? Rai Sport journalist Ciro Venerato thinks Arsenal not only stand a chance to sign Osimhen but are favourites for his services.
As per Tutto Napoli, he says, “The Premier League remains, Arsenal favorite, as is the Manchester United-Chelsea duo. High bar for the price tag. The far-sighted De Laurentiis is asking for €150 million for his star player.”
On his part, Osimhen tells the Athletic he hopes for a PL move. “A lot of people worldwide consider the Premier League as the best and the strongest league, but now I’m in one of the best leagues in the world, which is the Italian Serie A,” he said.
“I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League some day, but like I said, it’s a process, and I just want to keep on this momentum and continue to do well.”
Osimhen at Arsenal could be unbearable for other PL teams. He could no doubt revolutionise Arsenal’s attack and convert many more chances into goals than our present Number Nines.

I would very much love Osimhen at Arsenal. But if I’m to be really honest, I don’t think it will happen cos we can’t spend that much on him seeing that we could be paying around £80m for Rice. Instead, I see Balogun returning. Our only major transfer would likely be a DM
As a Nigeria and an Arsenal fan, I would love to see Osimhen at Arsenal. I don’t think it will happen with the fee being quoted. Man UTD and Chelsea need a number nine more than us. I think it will be a bidding war between Chelsea and Man UTD. But, the Kroenke’s, Edu and Mikel might surprise us. I hope they do.
Top top talent am please when we are link with these marquee signings.
Brave and lethal but he wont come cheap, the way we plays, we do not overly rely on anyone player.
The lion share of the war chest should be spent on two powerful midfielders , maybe Rice and Onana
I don’t think he will do the magic he is doing at Napoli, in Arsenal.
As a Nigerian Gunner, I will like to see Victor in Arsenal. But if truth be told, it will be very very difficult to see it happen. With Balgun coming back, our business will be more on CM. But for whatever reason the transfer happens, Arsenal will close so many gaps.
Arsenal won’t be spending above 100m on any player, we have a ceiling that will not be breached
