Arsenal has become the latest team to be linked with a summer move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
The 25-year-old has made it clear that he wishes to leave Napoli with the Premier League a possible destination.
The player has a release clause of โฌ160M, which Napoli patron Aurelio De Laurentiis will use to give his new coach, Antonio Conte, a sizeable summer war chest.
After a superb debut season in Serie A, injuries and a lack of form derailed Osimhenโs progress as Napoli failed miserably in their defence of the Serie A title.ย
Chelsea were reported to be keen on signing the Nigerian superstar, but recent interest from Saudi Arabia, where Osimhen is understood to have received an offer in excess of โฌ40M a season, seems to have cooled the Stamford Bridge clubโs interest.
Now Il Roma (via calcionapoli24.it) claims that last seasonโs Premier League runners-up have made contact with Osimhenโs agent, Roberto Calenda, to explore the possibility of a summer switch to the Emirates Stadium.
