Arsenal transfer news: Striker now worth £100m, just eight months after Edu tried to sign him

reports that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is now worth £100 million plus, just eight months after Edu Gaspar tried to sign him for Arsenal

Mikel Arteta has been backed significantly by the Arsenal board over the past few months, 💃with Arsenal moving to bring in the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Leandro Trossard.

The Gunners are looking to pick u🃏p their first Premier League title in 20-years and tꦗhis is partly down to their astute business in the transfer market.

Jesus had made a huge impact on Arteta’s side before picking up a knee injury at the World Cup, but✱ Edu was eyeing a move for Osimhen before signing the Brazilian over the summer.

reported back in May last year that the Arsenal sporting director h🧜ad even met with the 23-year-old’s agent ahead of a possible move to the Emirates Stadium.

Now, Osimhen’s value has seemingly sky-rocketed after𒀰 he’s played a huge part in Napoli’s blistering start to the season.

Osimhen now worth £100m

Osimhen has already nette🅠d 14 goals in 19 appearances for Luciano Spalletti’s men this season, with Napoli flying high at the top of Serie A.

The Nigerian striker is proving to be one of the most lethal finishers in Europe right now and number nines like himself are in short supplyꦓ.

As a result, ♓The Daily Mail reports that Napoli🌸 will be able to ‘confidently demand’ £100m plus from any interested clubs.

Of course, Jesus has been exceptional since his switch from Manchester City and while he may not be as lethal in-front of goal as Osimh༺en, his contributions to Arsenal cannot be understated.

Arsenal fans won’t be too disappointed about missing out on the Napoli star, especially as they hav♏e their own capable finisher in Edd💞ie Nketiah.

The 23-year-old certainly provides a different option t🎐o 💃Jesus up-front and he’s proving his worth for Arsenal right now. The youngster has netted four goals in five Premier League games since coming into the starting line-up. 

Osimhen will undoubtedly be considered by some of the biggest clubs in Euro💖pe after his stellar performances for Napoli, but Arsenal are well-stocked in the striker department.
