Mikel Arteta told £100M star ‘the kind of player’ that Arsenal need to sign right now

Ian Wright reckons Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is the kind of player Arsenal need this winter.

ARSENAL have spent some crazy money over the last couple of transfer windows and brought players to the club that they hoped would get the side competing for the big titles.

They are sitting second in the Premier League ad looking like a side that has the ability to finally take that title off Manchester City – but there is a feeling that they still need a new striker.

That has led to reports in the media that ARSENAL could try and make a move for Osimhen in the January window, a man that they wanted to sign in the summer window and a striker that is easily regarded as one of the best in the game.

Now, with the January window just a few days away from opening, Wright has opened up and claimed that Osimhen is the calibre of striker that Mikel Arteta needs to bring into the club.

He said: “The calibre of player Arsenal need right now i somebody who hits the ground running, a top end striker, like the [Victor] Osimhens of this world… that level of striker.

“If Arsenal want to do it now they’re going to need that level of goalscorer who will slot in straight away.

“That’s what they probably need now. I don’t think any Arsenal fan will look at the game and not see that we need a killer in front of goal.”

CAN ARSENAL AFFORD OSIMHEN?

Arsenal are not afraid to splash the cash – they have proven that in recent windows – But Osimhen will cost over £100 million and his wages will be one of the highest in the Premier League.

ARSENAL can afford him – but not this January – they will be able too at the end of the season.
