The Gunners had been linked to the Nigerian forward for a long time but their interest in him seemed to cool while Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain continued to pursue him. However, Corriere dello Sport reports that the north London team have returned to the race to sign Osimhen as they look to strengthen their attack with a new striker.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Napoli are eager to cash in on Osimhen. They were initially holding out for the full €130 million (£111m/$145m) release clause in his contract to be triggered before they would be willing to let him go, but the Serie A side have re-evaluated their stance and are willing to accept a lower fee. Offloading Osimhen would see them raise much-needed money and allow them to bring in Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.
