Arsenal made serious efforts in signing Dušan Vlahović last month, but he snubbed them to join Juventus.
Having failed in bringing the Serbian to the Emirates, the Gunners were linked with a few other strikers, but finished the January window without signing an attacker. In addition to this, they also cut ties with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
With Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah’s contracts expiring in June, the north London club are likely to bring in a new No.9. Victor Osimhen could be one of their targets for the summer window.
That’s according to NapoliPiu.com, who add the English club also have the 23-year-old’s club teammate, Fabián Ruiz, on their agenda.
They ‘want to relaunch their project’ by signing ‘important players’ and therefore, the duo from Naples are in their sights.
Fabián, with a contract expiring in 2023, is likely to leave the Italian club after this term. The latter, on the other hand, will make an attempt to keep the attacker.
However, if the Nigerian were to receive a ‘right offer’, then he could be sold in the next window. As per the report, Napoli would ask ‘more than €100m’ to sell both the midfielder and Osimhen.
That being said, it remains to be seen whether Mikel Arteta’s side are ready to spend a huge fee to bring the duo to London, as that would be quite the expenditure.
