I want him too: 3 Premier League clubs now in battle to sign Victor Osimhen

Faruq Ibrahim 17:51 - 02.03.2025

Three Premier League clubs are now linked with a summer move for Victor Osimhen.

With the summer transfer window inching closer, the suitors are starting to gather up again to court Victor Osimhen's signature.

A new Premier League club, Arsenal, have entered the race for his signature, and the Gunners are expected to compete with two of their English rivals for the rights of the Nigerian.

Suitors return for Osimhen 

The Nigerian was one of the highly coveted talents during last summer's transfer window, but the financial ramifications of signing him prevented any deal from going through before deadline day.       

He eventually joined Galatasaray on loan as remaining at Napoli was unlikely, and other than the reported bid from Manchester United last January, paper talk surrounding Osimhen's future cooled down. 

However, as the season is nearing its end, the suitors have come knocking again, hoping to trigger his €75 million release clause (previously €130 million).

Arsenal to rival Chelsea and Man United

The interest from the Gunners is reported by a Turkish site, Takvim. The North London giants are expected to bring in offensive talent in the summer after key injuries in attack derailed their season this term.    

Arsenal will not have it all their way should they decide to go for Osimhen as their marquee signing for the summer, as Manchester United and Chelsea are also expected to move for the former Royal Charleroi striker.                

Manchester United had a winter bid rejected by the Nigerian, who wanted to complete the season at Galatasaray. They are expected to make a return for the Nigerian, as are Chelsea's, whose owner Todd Boehly recently confirmed they are in the striker market
