Osimhen ‘big possibility’ for United, Arsenal

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has told Manchester United and Arsenal fans to ‘keep an eye’ on a potential move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who may leave the Italian club this summer.


Osimhen has previously admitted to being interested in a move to the Premier League, and after a disappointing season with Napoli, where the Serie A outfit fell short of Champions League qualification, it could be time to move on and learn a new chapter.


Both United and Arsenal could be in the market for a new centre-forward this summer, and if Napoli is willing to lower their asking price for Osimhen it wouldn’t be a surprise to see either club make a move.

Speaking on Playback, Italian reporter Romano has suggested that clubs in England are one to watch in the race for Osimhen, particularly Manchester United and Arsenal…


“In this moment of the market, keep an eye also on England, because Osimhen could be a big possibility. If Napoli changes the price of Victor Osimhen, there could be a possibility for other clubs to enter. For example, Manchester United are looking for a striker. We know about Joshua Zirkzee and this battle with Milan, but Arsenal are also looking for a striker. Will they go for a striker? Will they go for a winger? Well, what do they decide to do in the plan? Keep an eye on many clubs for Victor Osimhen.


A new centre-forward could be one of United’s major priorities for the current transfer window. French striker Anthony Martial will leave the club following the expiration of his contract; Rasmus Hojlund remains the only recognized senior option through the middle in attack for Ten Hag, and he needs cover and competition.
It could be the same story with the Gunners, who have often played Kai Havertz as a striker, which is against his usual playing position deeper during his career.
