According to transfer expert Ben Jacobs via Caughtoffside, Arsenal are borrowing a page from Chelsea’s book by prioritizing a move for a younger striker over Victor Osimhen.
The north London side are in search of a center forward as they look to fortify their squad ahead of the next campaign and have been linked with Osimhen as a result.
The 25-year-old is valued at €130m based on the release clause inserted in the contract he signed with Napoli last December and that has served as a hindrance to interested clubs like Arsenal.
Besides his huge transfer value, it has now been revealed that the Gunners are prioritizing a move for a younger striker which informs their links to Benjamin Šeško (21) and Brighton’s Evan Ferguson (19).
Similarly, Chelsea also dropped their interest in the Super Eagles forward due to their desire to get a younger striker and have also been linked with Šeško.
With Chelsea and now Arsenal not prioritizing a move for Osimhen, it is difficult to see how the Napoli star gets a move to the Premier League, where he wants to play next.
As it stands, he is left with the choice of moving to PSG, the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ahli interested in him or staying in Napoli for at least one more season.
