Arsenal has begun talks with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

Arsenal has begun talks with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

Regardless of the attacking quality that Mikel Arteta already has in his squad, Arsenal are lacking in a proven striker who can slam home goals on a regular basis.

Alexandre Lacazette has put on impressive displays, but the Frenchman will never be, and has never been, a striker capable of scoring 30 goals per season.

That implies Mikel Arteta should dip into the transfer kitty and add a striker to the squad, which has prompted media reports confirming that Osimhen is a player the club is very interested in tracking.

Late media reports have confirmed that the Napoli forward requires a move to the Emirates this summer, as it is his dream to play for Arsenal – but such a move will not be cheap for the club.

It has been confirmed that Napoli will demand a fee of more than £69 million for the striker – however, Arsenal and GOAL have confirmed that the Gunners have already begun taking action for the player.

They guarantee Arsenal’s specialized chief Edu has spoken with the striker’s representative in London – but acknowledge that the fee will be an issue because Napoli are notoriously difficult to agree terms with.

Napoli signed Osimhen from Lille for €81.3 million (£69.5 million) in 2020, and it is expected that Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis would require a significantly higher fee.

There have been numerous players associated with a move to the Emirates, as well as a few top strikers associated with a move to the club.

But why not go after a player who has already proven himself in the Premier League rather than signing a striker who may need time to adjust to the speed, quality, and tenacity of the English game?
