Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has given explanations for why Arsenal, a Premier League team, would decide against signing Victor Osimhen.
It is said that the Gunners are looking to add a new striker.
Osimhen’s transfer has been frequently associated with Mikel Arteta’s team.
Romano did, however, imply that one major obstacle to the move would be the huge sum of money surrounding Osimhen.
“I’ve had some fans asking me about reports in Italy suggesting that Arsenal have cooled their interest in Victor Osimhen because he could be too expensive, or that they are concerned about entering into difficult and lengthy negotiations with Napoli,” he said in his daily briefing.
“Osimhen has always been appreciated, but many clubs are cautious now waiting to understand the salary/commission package, as there’s already a very expensive release clause to take into consideration.
“This is why Arsenal are looking at other strikers, including Viktor Gyokeres, who remains on their shortlist.”
Osimhen is apparently attracting interest from Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 winners, and Chelsea, Arsenal’s London rivals.
