Arsenal are currently in last place in the Premier League standings due to their recent slump in form.

Even though the Gunners still have a ways to go before they can win the league, Gary Neville isn’t giving up hope that they can.

Furthermore, Arsenal may seek to strengthen their roster during the upcoming January transfer window in an effort to restore their title aspirations.

Throughout the summer, rumors circulated that Arsenal was looking to add a new striker to their roster. However, the Gunners ultimately decided against making any moves in that direction.

Arsenal reportedly have talks underway with the parent club of a striker who was once described as “one of the very best players in world football,” according to a Turkish account

Arsenal in contact with Napoli over Victor Osimhen

The player in question is Victor Osimhen, who has made a real name for himself as one of the world’s best strikers in recent years.

According to Sabah, Arsenal are ‘in contact’ with Napoli over the on-loan Galatasaray man, along with Premier League rivals Chelsea and Newcastle United.

As well as the Gunners, the Blues and the Magpies, the likes of Fenerbahce and Al-Hilal have set their sights on Osimhen.

What is Osimhen’s current situation?

Links between Arsenal and Osimhen – who has eight goals and four assists for Galatasaray this season – go back a while.

Osimhen apparently wanted to join Arsenal at one point, but the Gunners withdrew from the Osimhen race towards the end of the transfer window.

After a summer of intense speculation, the 25-year-old left Napoli and joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan.

The Turkish giants are now hoping to sign Osimhen permanently and are willing to offer Napoli around £42million for him, according to Turkish outlet Sozcu.

Italian football expert Adriano del Monte deemed Osimhen “one of the very best players in world football” last year, and his goalscoring record certainly speaks for itself.

Therefore, it would not be surprising to see Galatasaray up against the likes of Arsenal and other top clubs in pursuit of Osimhen.
