When Mikel Arteta would be ready to welcome Victor Osimehn to the team as well as his new Jersey number following his fallout with Napoli are revealed to Arsenal supporters by Sky Sport Pundit as Gooners reject the signing of Ivan Toney.
Kevin Campbell, a pundit, thinks that Arsenal would be interested in the ‘groundbreaking’ 2024 signing of Napoli forward Victor Osimhen.
Victor Osimhen of Napoli may be available to Arsenal either in the summer or during the January transfer window.
Kevin Campbell, a pundit and former Arsenal striker, came to that conclusion when chatting with Sky Sports today.
Following their lack of killer instinct against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, Arsenal’s forwards are being scrutinized.
Some people think Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus lack the goal-scoring potential Arsenal needs, which has led to some criticism of their play.
Ivan Toney, a striker for Brentford, is currently being strongly linked to Arsenal before the January transfer window.
The Bees will demand a significant fee for Toney, but Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen might still enter the picture.
The Nigerian striker led Napoli to the Serie A championship last season with 31 goals in all competitions.
Former Arsenal striker Campbell believes that the organization should make a significant investment on a new striker today.
Although Campbell thinks the price for Osimhen would be “groundbreaking,” Arsenal needs to make a move like this if they want to advance.
In his honest opinion, Campbell continues, the chance to sign someone like Toney or Osimhen might actually occur in January as opposed to next summer.
Every side, with the possible exception of Liverpool and Manchester City (Salah has been amazing), needs it, according to Campbell. “In my opinion, Arsenal has done it somewhat by committee. They split the goals last season; Martinelli has double-digit goals, Saka has double-digit goals, Jesus has double-digit goals, and Odegaard has double-digit goals; I think they have done it by committee.”
“Considering the current situation, particularly in relation to the Champions League… The discussion about the Ivan Toneys of the world being connected to Arsenal will stop, because the Gunners do miss that kind of striker, in my opinion, when the Champions League is in full swing. You need someone there who can assist, play tightly, and you can count on them to score.
“What Osimhen would cost will be revolutionary, but isn’t that true of anything? You must pay the fee if you want to play for that team and represent that side. Naturally, with the money from the Champions League coming in, Arsenal might be in the running to sign Osimhen next summer, but to be completely honest, the chance might come in January,” he continued.
Now, a lot of elite clubs in Europe will actually have a chance to sign Osimhen in 2024.
The striker had a pretty public argument with manager Rudi Garcia over the weekend after being replaced against Bologna.
Osimhen had apologized to the Napoli team, but now things are becoming weird.
Videos mocking Osimhen were posted on Napoli’s own TikTok account, especially after he missed a penalty against Bologna.
According to The Guardian, Osimhen may now sue Napoli because he feels like his own team is publicly mocking him.
Osimhen and Napoli’s current relationship is tense, which might present Arsenal with an opportunity to pounce with a large contract in 2024.
The Nigerian striker would be able to depose Gabriel Jesus of the number 9 jersey if he were to join the Emirates in 2024.
