Arsenal report: €100m Serie A striker to discuss move this summer

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen says he has yet to make a decision over his future, amid rumours of a move to Arsenal.

The 23-year-old has just been on international duty with Nigeria - bagging four goals as the Super Eagles battered Sao Tome and Principe 10-0 in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.

And speaking this week, he admitted that he hadn't been thinking about where he might be playing his club football next season. He said:

"I don't know my future; I know anything can happen, but now I just want to go on holiday with my family, clear my head and recharge my batteries.

"Then we'll take care of everything else."

According to reports in Italy, Arsenal have already had a £51-million bid for Osimhen turned down - with Napoli thought to value him at around £85 million.

Such a price tag may put off the Gunners - especially as they seem to be targeting Manchester City front man Gabriel Jesus, who is reportedly keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium.

Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille two years ago and has gone on to score 28 goals in 63 games for the Partenopei across all competitions.

Previously of Wolfsburg and Belgian outfit Charleroi, he won the U-17 World Cup with Nigeria in 2015 - scoring in the final.

Arsenal are busy in the transfer market already – and have reportedly already tied up their first deal of the window according to reports. 

The search for a striker is ongoing. Gabriel Jesus is still a huge rumour, with the Gunners set to offer him a huge pay rise – though there may yet be stumbling blocks. Gianluca Scamacca remains the Plan B for Arsenal, though both Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and Juventus star Alvaro Morata have been touted. 

In midfield, Carney Chukuemeka of Aston Villa, long-term target Houssem Aouar, Serie A star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Leicester City schemer Youri Tielemans are on the radar. The north Londoners apparently remain confident of convincing Bukayo Saka to stay, too.
