Victor Osimhen to Arsenal has been a topic of discussion lately. The Nigerian forward is linked with the premier league giants ahead of the January transfer window. However, it’s just a mere rumor with respect to this news. There’s no concrete statment from the player or the club. Moreover, there are less chances that Napoli are going to let Osimhen leave in the middle of the season. Arsenal lack a prolific goalscoring forward and Osimhen looks a perfect fit for them.
In the meanwhile, Arsenal face the challenge of financial hindrance in thier pursuit for Osimhen. To be more precise, the gunners are lacking finances to sign the Napoli striker. Because of this situation, the club might miss out on Osimhen in the January transfer window.
As per footballlondon, after Everton were given a 10 point deduction in the premier league, all the other clubs are making sure that they don’t breach the league’s financial and fair play rules and regulations. Furthermore, Arsenal are carefully taking steps regarding to thier transfers. They don’t want a situation like Everton. Especially when they’re on the top of the league.
The gunners have spent around £200 million in their squad this summer. Acknowledging the fact that the premier league is stringent on the profit and sustainability rules and regulations, Arsenal are making sure that their finances are transparent to the league officials.
Victor Osimhen to Arsenal: will it happen in future?
According to the recent reports, Chelsea are another club who are in race to sign Victor Osimhen. Moreover, the Nigerian has accepted the fact that he wishes to play in the premier league one day. Because of this statement, it’s very clear among the premier league clubs that they can lure the Napoli forward to their teams. However, it’s completely up to the player that which club he wants to join.
The Nigerian forward would easily be costing around £100 million plus. And Arsenal are not in a position to pay that price tag as of now unless and until they breach the regulations of the league.
