Napoli striker Victor Osimhen remains one of the hottest strikers on the market and he’s now considered the most likely player to leave Naples out of he and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Osimhen is certainly a man in-demand. A number of Premier League clubs are keen on the Nigerian.

Arsenal are believed to be among the clubs keen, in the summer about bringing him to North London. However, Osimhen won’t come cheap, with a reported price tag of around £150m being banded about.

However, those clubs looking to land Osimhen could be about to get a glimmer of hope.

According to , Osimhen is considered the most likely to leave Napoli out he and other star player, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. That comes as the same report suggests Chelsea and others had scouts watching Kvaratskhelia this weekend.

Victor Osimhen could leave Napoli with Arsenal interested

Lauded as a ‘‘ talent over in Italy, Osimhen has certainly impressed since moving to Serie A from Lille.

Any club getting their hands on the Nigerian as their next number nine is getting a player who is effectively a guarantee of goals.

For Arsenal, that’s what they need to take their squad to the next level. The sheer thought of Osimhen being put up top with Martinelli and Saka is something for every PL defence to fear.

Of course, landing the Napoli striker is going to be another matter altogether. Napoli are well-known for digging their heels in and not selling top stars. And at £150m, it’s quite the price to pay as well.

However, in order to get to the next level, big clubs need to spend big on the very best on the market.

Victor Osimhen is definitely in that bracket and he’d more or less guarantee the Gunners trophies.

Certainly, it’s worth keeping an eye on just who lands the forward over the next 12 months.
