Joe Cole says Arsenal should be doing all they can to sign £50m player, he’s ‘perfect’
Arsenal are going to be looking for a new striker in the summer transfer window.

Alexander Isak is Arsenal’s dream target, while Viktor Gyokeres has been linked to Arsenal recently too.

Joe Cole says Arsenal should get Victor Osimhen
Cole named Victor Osimhen as the player he believes would be the perfect si𓆉gning for Arsenal.
The pundit noted that the Nigerian is banging in the goals in Turkey, no🔥ting that he looks l💝ike he’d be ideal for Arsenal.
Cole questioned why a potential move for Alexander Isak, noting that 🍬he bel𒀰ieves Osimhen is the one for Arsenal.
“Osimhen. I know he’s had this little strang▨e one where he’s gone to Turkey and he’s banging in goals. But he looks perfect for Arsenal for me,” Cole said.
“Isak yeah, but why would he go to Arsenal now? If Newcastle could sp🥃end more, I can’t see Isak being an option, Osimhen is the one for me for Arsenal.”
Serie A record sales to the Premier League
Osimhen is currently playing for Galatasaray in Turkey, but, technically, he is still🌃 a Napoli player.
Indeed, Osimhen is contracted to Napoli, and that’s where he’s, largely, 🐼made hi🧔s name in his career.
However, that f🍸act may well be what puts Arsenal off signing the man.
Exports from Italy, historically, haven’t done very well in the Premier 𓆉League – just look at the list of record transfers between the two leagues.
Premier League record transfers from Serie A | Fee |
Romelu Lukaku – Chelsea | £97.5m |
Paul Pogba – Manchester United | £89m |
Rasmus Hojlund – Manchester United | £72m |
Joao Cancelo – Manchester City | £60m |
Sandro Tonali – Newcastle United | £55m |
Romelu L❀ukaku was terrible fღor Chelsea and was quickly shipped back to Italy, Paul Pogba never delivered on his pricetag, and the less said about Rasmus Hojlund the better.
Joao Cancelo and Sandro Tonali are two more prominent success stories, but even then, they had their downsides as Cancelo fell out with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and Tonali missed basically his enti✤re first season at Newcastle with a suspension.
Shopping in Italy for these big♋ name players is often a risk, and those risks can backfire badly.
