Transfer: He’s serious alternative – Watts names Super Eagles star Arsenal could sign

Transfer expert, Charles Watts has said that Arsenal would be making a move to sign Victor Osimhen this summer.

It means that the Gunners would battle the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, and PSG for the services of the Nigerian international.

Watts confirmed that the Gunners want to bolster their attack in the summer and it is no surprise that they are after Osimhen.

“It’s no great secret that Arsenal want to sign a striker this summer. When the window opens it will be the priority, along with a midfielder and potentially another wide attacker,” Watts told Caughtoffside

“It will be interesting to see whether they move for Victor Osimhen. He, like Toney, is a player they like and I know that his representatives have visited Arsenal’s training ground for talks with Edu.

“Those talks took place in the summer when Arsenal eventually signed Gabriel Jesus. Jesus was always the priority that year, but Osimhen was definitely a player they viewed as a serious alternative.

“That interest will remain, but the Nigerian could prove to be too costly an option in a summer given Arsenal want to spread their budget around as they look to take the squad to the next level.”
