For those closely following Arsenal in recent years, it’s clear that Mikel Arteta’s project emphasizes continuous long-term growth. The club’s aim is consistent improvement season by season, and their recruitment strategy aligns with this long-term vision.

Therefore, it might not come as a surprise to learn that Arsenal is already contemplating a transfer target for the upcoming summer. According to Steve Kay, speaking on KS1TV, Arsenal has engaged in substantive discussions with Napoli and the player’s representatives regarding the potential acquisition of Victor Osimhen next year.

Steve Kay shared insights into the Osimhen talks, stating, “Yes, I’ve been informed that there have been discussions. Talks have revolved around Arsenal potentially bringing in Osimhen, but not during this transfer window; it’s for the next one. There has been no direct contact with the player, only discussions with Roberto Calenda, his agent, and the Napoli president, who has stated that he’s not available for sale this summer. This is a situation to monitor, but it’s not for this summer, it’s for the following summer.”

Such a signing could elevate Arsenal from domestic contenders to Champions League hopefuls. Victor Osimhen is undeniably one of the world’s top strikers, making a significant impact in Serie A with Napoli last season and earning praise as “even better than Erling Haaland.”

Osimhen possesses all the attributes to become a Premier League superstar, and in Mikel Arteta’s system, which prioritizes quick, fluid, attacking football, he would be a seamless fit.

If Arsenal can secure this deal, it could prove to be an inspired signing with the potential to propel the club to greater heights.
