Big Transfer Message Issued To Arsenal About Signing World Class Act on £112M Deal

According to Charles Watts, Osimhen joining Arsenal in the summer may not be a swoop that the club should look forward to.

It is no secret that Arsenal have been eyeing a move for Osimhen even before Mikel Arteta took over as boss – but have been unable to get a deal done as Napoli had no intention of letting him leave.

The transfer speculation has continued this season as ARSENAL FC were still keen to sign a big-time striker – but with the financial fair play rules catching everybody out – no deals have really been done this month.

The 25-year-old penned a new deal in Naples in December, but it is said to include a release clause of £112m – and it now looks like Napoli are willing to cash in on the star after he admitted that he would like to move on.

However – amid all the speculation and rumours – Watts has opened up and sent a surprise message to the Gunners about a potential deal for the Nigerian superstar.

“It will be interesting to see whether they move for Victor Osimhen,” Watts admitted to Caught Offside. “He, like Toney, is a player they like and I know that his representatives have visited Arsenal’s training ground for talks with Edu.

“Those talks took place in the summer when Arsenal eventually signed Gabriel Jesus. Jesus was always the priority that year, but Osimhen was definitely a player they viewed as a serious alternative.

“That interest will remain, but the Nigerian could prove to be too costly an option in a summer given Arsenal want to spread their budget around as they look to take the squad to the next level.”
