Arsenal should bid for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in 2024 summer

In my opinion, Arsenal should make a bid for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in the summer of 2024.

I do not think that Napoli are going to sell Osimhen in the middle of the season. After all, the 24-year-old is one of their best players.

Osimhen is one of the best strikers on the planet. He is a goal machine. The 24-year-old has already scored six goals in seven Serie A starts this season.

So, why would Napoli sell Osimhen in the middle of the season? However, a summer transfer could happen in the summer of 2024.

There are that Osimhen is not completely happy at Napoli. Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring him.

I believe that a big bid from Arsenal could see them bring the Nigeria international striker to the Emirates Stadium in the summer of 2024.
