Another priority before the transfer window closes is to sign a new striker. Osimhen continues to be mentioned as a potential target, but the big question is whether Arsenal are willing to spend big money on him this summer.
The former Lille star has a 111 million pounds Napoli have not agreed to a release clause in the contract signed last year and have been reluctant to accept anything less in recent months. However, their stance could change as the transfer deadline approaches.
Osimhen has made it clear he wants a move away from the 2022/23 Serie A champions, and this could prompt them to lower their demands for the striker, who racked up 17 goals and four assists in 34 games last season.
