Arsenal is set to compete with Paris Saint-Germain for the signature of Napoli and Nigeria star Victor Osimhen, according to Calciomercato.
Osimhen’s recent outstanding performance, including a hat trick in Napoli’s 6-1 victory over Sassuolo, has boosted his goal tally to five in his last three matches across all competitions.
Napoli recognises the importance of Osimhen’s top form for the remainder of the season to narrow the eight-point gap on fourth-placed Bologna for Champions League qualification.
However, they also acknowledge the likelihood of his departure at the end of the season and aim to secure €130 million for their prized striker.
Expressing his desire to play in the Premier League, Osimhen has caught the attention of Arsenal, who are seeking a striker ahead of the 2024–25 campaign.
The Gunners have also shown interest in Brentford’s Ivan Toney.
Although PSG holds a strong interest in Osimhen, especially with the impending departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid when his contract expires, the competition for the Napoli striker’s signature remains intense.
