According to reports, Arsenal are making a bigger transfer bid than Paris Saint-Germain in an attempt to sign Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen.

The Super Eagles striker’s transfer saga has gone on for a long time having been linked with several top clubs in Europe.

He was recently on the verge of completing a move to PSG but the French side could not find a middle ground with Napoli for a transfer fee.

Arsenal have now swooped in to hijack the deal for Osimhen but are offering him a lower salary package.

It is also reported that the Arsenal proposed transfer fee for Osimhen is higher than that of the Ligue 1 winners.

The Nigerian international signed a new contract with Napoli last season with a released clause of  €120-130 million added to his contract.

However, Napoli are now willing to discuss a lower offer because no club has been able to match their original demand.

PSG and Arsenal have emerged as serious contenders in response to this revelation, which has reignited interest from possible suitors.

Although PSG was first thought to be the front-runner to recruit Osimhen, Arsenal's most recent move has changed the dynamics of the transfer.

Napoli are keen to cash in on Osimhen to facilitate their transfer plans as they look to sign  Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku.
