Report: 'One of the best players in the world' is now waiting on offer after deciding he wants to join Arsenal

Arsenal have addressed their defence in this summer’s transfer market with the impressive signing of Riccardo Calafiori.

And there is now a belief that Arsenal could be looking to keep the ball rolling as they narrow in on signing number two of the summer.

There is now the belief that Arsenal are close to completing the signing of midfielder Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad.

If the Gunners are able to secure themselves Merino, that would mean Mikel Arteta has been handed a new defender and midfielder this summer.

Now, could it be time for Arsenal to start looking at their options up top as they have a potential target who is waiting for an offer to arrive.

Arsenal target waiting on offer for summer move

Last season, Arsenal had no issues in finding the back of the net with only Manchester City (96) scoring more than them (91).

And the Gunners were able to do this without a real prolific striker; unlike City who had Erling Haaland providing over 20 goals.

Gabriel Jesus offered a really disappointing return of just four goals in his 27 appearances in the top flight.

Although the entire Arsenal front line chipped in with the goals, perhaps it is time for Arteta to seek a new striker.

According to Calciomercato, Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is now just waiting on an offer to arrive for him this summer so he can make a move.

The report from the Italian outlet claims Osimhen is now on his way out of Napoli but has remained professional about the matter.

The Nigeria international played in Napoli’s recently friendly game but is waiting for a club to make their move.

Interest from the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Arsenal has been credited in the report.

Victor Osimhen wants to join Arsenal over Chelsea

According to further reports from Italy, Osimhen has now decided he would like to join Arsenal over Chelsea this summer.

However, he is not a player who would be arriving for cheap with the Osimhen having been valued at around £85m.

But this is a move which would surely see Arsenal fans truly believe that this would be their year in the title race.

If just two point separated Arsenal and Manchester City last season, then the addition of a player like Osimhen would be a huge statement of intent given he has been hailed as ‘one of the best players in the world‘.
