According to reports, Arsenal are expected to compete for the services of Victor Osimhen this summer.

Osimhen is preparing to leave Napoli in search of a new club after leading the club to the Serie A championship and earning the golden boot in his final season.

The Nigerian forward has been consistently linked with a move to the Premier League, with Chelsea at the forefront of the rumors.

In December, the 25-year-old signed a new contract with the Italian club.

Nevertheless, due to the purported incorporation of a £112 million release clause, Napoli will be compelled to sell the asset if the aforementioned amount is recouped.

Fabrizio Romano of CaughtOffside reports that Osimhen has already resolved to join a new club in the summer, deeming his time in Naples to have been a “huge success.”

As Romano reveals that Chelsea will encounter opposition from Saudi Arabia, he also advises supporters to “keep an eye” on Arsenal.

Ivan Toney has been linked to the Gunners throughout the transfer window, but SunSport has information that the Gunners have no intention of making a move this month.

Rather, it appears that the North London club will not pursue a new forward until the summer transfer window.

Osimhen has previously alluded to a move to the Premier League, and just last month he hinted at a transfer to Chelsea.

A supporter wished the striker a joyous birthday on X, which was formerly Twitter, before uploading an image of a youthful Osimhen donning a Blues shirt.

The caption of the post read, “Please rescue Chelsea as soon as possible.”

In his reply, he utilized two heart emoticons and one praying emoji.

Midway through the season, Osimhen departed Napoli to represent Nigeria at the African Cup of Nations.

One goal has been scored against him in three tournament contests.
