Mikel Arteta told to sign ‘top player’ will do everything needed to be class Arsenal player

Former Arsenal defender Lauren believes that if signed Victor Osimhen – he would prove vital to Mikel Arteta’s side and provide him with a completely new playing style.

Osimhen is a player that has been linked with a move to ARSENAL for months – the Gunners are reportedly still very interested in trying to bring the big man to the Emirates before the close of the transfer window, but his asking price has been a real.

Arsenal didnt want to pay that £111 million clause on his contract at the beginning of the summer, so Napoli lowered the asking price to £87 million in order to try and get him sold – but the Gunners dont want to pay that amount for the player either.

That has not stopped all the rumours that Arsenal are still keen on the man and now former Gunners star Lauren has opened up and encouraged his former club to try and sign the big Nigerian star – He claimed via MyBettingSites.co.uk: “The thing is that Osimhen is a different player to what we currently have. We know Gabriel Jesus is a fantastic player. When you play for Arteta, you need to go and press the centre-backs, you need to press the full-backs, you need to come and receive the ball.

“You need to have the technical ability to play one-touch passes and connect with Ødegaard, Rice, Saka. And you also need to have the work-rate to do the defensive duties that Arteta will demand of you.

So, I believe that if they sign Osimhen, it’s because they’ve been seeing that he’ll be capable of connecting with the technical side of the game and also to have the work-rate needed to defend.

“As a player, he’s very good. He will score goals. I’ve been watching his tapes and he can score goals off set pieces, he can score when the ball is on the side and he can curl it in.

‘He’s very good with his head and also possesses good one-touch finishing inside the box. He’s a top player.”
