Premier League title chaser, Arsenal FC, has set its sights on Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen for a potential January transfer. Currently on a season-long loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen has been in stellar form, scoring 14 goals and providing six assists in 18 appearances this season.
Arsenal’s interest in Osimhen comes in the wake of injuries plaguing their attack, including the long-term absence of Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka. According to sources, the Gunners are exploring the market for a late-window striker signing and have made contact regarding a sensational deal for Osimhen1.
Despite winning the 2024 CAF African Footballer of the Year, Super Eagles and Atalanta striker Ademola Lookman is currently trailing Osimhen in the latest rating of top Nigerian players. This rating, published by Diaspora Newsline, highlights Osimhen’s dominance and impressive performance across Europe1.
The potential transfer of Osimhen to Arsenal has generated significant buzz among fans and sports pundits alike. With his proven track record and goal-scoring prowess, Osimhen could be the game-changer Arsenal needs to bolster their attack and maintain their title chase.
