The Gunners have had a good start to the season with 20 points after 8 matches in the National League and they are only behind top team Tottenham Hotspur on goal difference.
Osimhen is in Arsenal’s sights.
Mikel Arteta’s team is expected to be able to compete fairly for the championship with strong candidates, but there are still concerns about the North London team’s attack problem, when the duo of Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah appeared unstable in scoring goals.
This duo has only scored 3 goals since the beginning of the season. This sparked rumors that Arsenal wanted to recruit Victor Osimhen in January. However, reputable journalist David Ornstein denied the possibility of the Nigerian star landing at the Emirates.
“In terms of price and profile, I don’t see Arsenal buying Osimhen. I doubt he’s on their list, just as Osimhen is on the radar of all the top teams.
Indeed, the current supply of quality strikers is so small that any big club looking to sign in January or next summer will likely be studying the same names – Osimhen, (Lauturo) Martinez, (Evan) Ferguson, (Benjamin) Sesko, (Victor) Boniface, etc.
In the current situation, I don’t think Arsenal are focusing on recruiting a striker in January. In my opinion, the plan will take place in the summer.”
