Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen on Arsenal’s radar, despite Sesko’s interest

Despite having a strong interest in Benjamin Sesko, Arsenal are currently considering a number of other prospects, including Victor Osimhen.

The Gunners are in the transfer market for a striker following the unavailability of Gabriel Jesus and the poor form of Eddie Nketiah last season.

Mikel Arteta had to make use of a make-shift striker in Kai Havertz, who went on to score 16 goals and provide eight assists this season.

The Gunners finished the season in second place behind league winners Manchester City twice in a row, leaving Arteta aiming to upgrade his team.

Arsenal’s potential transfer targets

Recent reports suggest that Arsenal are interested in Leipzig's top striker, Benjamin Sesko, and have made him a target this summer.

However, despite Arsenal’s strong interest in Sesko, the Gunners are also looking at the possibility of signing Super Eagles and Napoli star Victor Osimhen.

According to Ben Jacobs on X, “Along with Sesko, Arsenal have also looked at Joshua Zirkzee, Evan Ferguson, and Viktor Gyökeres. 

"Understand that there's been no approach yet for Victor Osimhen, despite reports. Napoli still insists on the full release clause being paid.

“Osimhen will prove a very expensive deal, given wage demands and agent fees to be factored in unless Napoli's position softens. 

“PSG are still considering Osimhen. It's true they also really like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but Napoli have no intention of losing him and Osimhen in the same window.

The Gunners are yet to make any signings but will be looking to get one over the board before the end of the transfer window.
