Napoli want two Arsenal players in Victor Osimhen deal — Napoli want two Arsenal player

Osimhen signed a new long-term contract with Napoli last year where he agreed a release clause worth €130 million.

The Gunners have no plans of triggering the clause, considering the striker has had a fair share of injuries this season.

Instead, a swap deal could be on the cards. It is claimed that Napoli are admirers of young midfielder Emile Smith Rowe .

Smith Rowe has played just over 700 minutes for the Gunners in the last two years and he could be sold for a good price.

Aside from him, Napoli are also keen on landing full-back Takehiro Tomiyasu after missing out on his services last winter.

The Serie A giants tried to negotiate a January deal with the Gunners, but Tomiyasu ended up signing a new long-term contract.

Napoli are now prepared to considerably lower their demands for Osimhen if Smith Rowe and Tomiyasu are added as makeweights.
