In the Shadows of the Transfer Market, a High-Stakes Game Unfolds: Arsenal and Manchester United Engage in a Clandestine Battle for the Signature of a Prolific Goal-Scorer, But Only One Can Emerge Victorious

Arsenal are planning to meet with the agents of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen ahead of a potential summer transfer window move for the player.

Sources with a close understanding of the situation have informed CaughtOffside that Osimhen is one of the names Arsenal are exploring as an option up front this summer.

The Gunners are eager to strengthen in that position, though it’s felt that Benjamin Sesko a

nd Viktor Gyokeres remain higher up on the north Londoners’ list for now.

Osimhen is someone Arsenal like, though, and they’re set to hold initial discussions to explore the possibility of a deal for the Nigeria international.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain will also be three teams to watch in the race for Osimhen’s signature, CaughtOffside understands.

Osimhen was strongly targeted by both Chelsea and PSG last year before his surprise loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray.

CaughtOffside understands that both clubs remain interested in the 26-year-old, who has a €75m release clause in the next transfer window.

Despite that, it’s understood that Osimhen would still be open to considering a move to Old Trafford.
