Arsenal Intensifies Interest in Victor Osimhen
Arsenal has heightened their interest in Osimhen, with sporting director Berta observing him score during Galatasaray’s commanding derby victory against Fenerbahce.
Arsenal FC have intensified their search for attacking reinforcements as the summer window approaches, now placing significant emphasis on Victor Osimhen.
Sporting director Andrea Berta was present at the Ali Sami Yen Rams Park for the intense Istanbul derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, where the home team achieved a decisive 3-0 win. The visit highlights Arsenal’s increasing interest in Osimhen, who made a strong impression by opening the scoring.
Reports from AS indicate that Berta’s main goal was to thoroughly evaluate the Nigerian forward while also collecting important details regarding his availability. Reports indicate that the Arsenal chief engaged in informal discussions with Galatasaray officials about the potential financial structure required to finalize a deal.
Even after making a significant investment in their attack by signing Viktor Gyokeres, there is a growing conviction within the club that manager Mikel Arteta seeks additional depth and variety in his frontline options as they approach the next season.
Osimhen, having transferred to Galatasaray from Napoli in 2024, has displayed exceptional performance and is contracted until 2029. Arsenal’s ongoing interest indicates that they are genuinely considering the option of acquiring the striker for the Premier League.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Osimhen is a key element of a wider summer strategy, as the club is also monitoring Endrick due to the ambiguity regarding his position at Real Madrid, which may affect their overall attacking options and depth for the upcoming season.
