Arsenal back in the race to sign Victor Osimhen
Arsenal are back in the race to sign Chelsea target Victor Osimhen before the transfer deadline next week, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The Nigerian star has made the decision to leave Napoli this summer, but there have been no suitable offers for the Serie A outfit to consider.
Napoli were holding out for his €130m release clause earlier in the window, but they are now prepared to sanction his sale for around €100m.
Corriere dello Sport now claim that Arsenal are back on the trail for the 25-year-old and could make a late swoop before the deadline on August 30.
The Gunners have had a quiet summer transfer window , but they are aiming to end it on a high with the purchase of a marquee centre-forward.
Chelsea are also admirers of the former Lille man, but they can only afford a loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the campaign.
Osimhen has no desire to accept such a proposal. He has also refused to accept a pay-cut to move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
