Victor Osimhen is catching the attention of Arsenal, with the Premier League runners-up reportedly making contact with the Nigerian international. This summer, Arsenal’s transfer activities focus on strengthening their attack. Osimhen seems to be a top priority.
Napoli’s prolific striker, who has scored 76 goals in 133 appearances since his arrival from Lille in July 2020, played a crucial role in securing the club’s first Serie A title in over three decades. Arsenal’s interest in Victor Osimhen is significant, especially considering Chelsea’s long-standing links with the player. However, it is now the Gunners making strategic moves to bring him to London.
According to reports, Arsenal has been in touch with Napoli regarding Osimhen. Manager Mikel Arteta is keen on acquiring a true number 9 to bolster the squad. The Mirror highlights that Osimhen has been likened to Didier Drogba by Jose Mourinho, emphasizing the striker’s potential impact. While Arsenal has made initial contact, there are no concrete negotiations yet. PSG also shows strong interest, positioning themselves as serious contenders for Osimhen’s signature.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann could be heading to MLS, with Los Angeles FC eyeing a free transfer next summer. Griezmann, whose contract with Atletico runs out next year, is reportedly tempted by the prospect of playing in the United States. According to L’Equipe, LAFC is considering signing Griezmann for free or activating his release clause, valued at just £8.5 million.
In other transfer news, Manchester United are in advanced talks with Bayern Munich full-back Noussair Mazraoui. After West Ham pulled out of a deal for the Moroccan international, United saw an opportunity to secure the player’s services. According to The Sun, personal terms could not be agreed upon between West Ham and Mazraoui’s representatives. This led to United stepping in and progressing in their negotiations.
As the transfer window unfolds, Arsenal’s pursuit of Victor Osimhen could be one of the most talked-about moves, while Griezmann’s potential MLS switch and Mazraoui’s possible arrival at Old Trafford add further intrigue to the summer’s transfer market.
