Arsenal News Transfer: Arsenal is getting ready to make another offer for Victor Osimhen soon to go ahead of Manchester United in the bidding process.
It was claimed earlier in the week by II Mattino that the Gunners had attempted to recruit the midfielder. He has been linked to Manchester United. But they were unsuccessful because Napoli rejected their proposal of £51m for the player. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
Rumours were circulating that Arsenal had completely lost interest in pursuing a deal to sign the Nigerian international player.
However, it seems that this estimation is wrong by a significant margin. As reported by Gazzetta Dello Sport, the North Londoners are preparing a new offer. The information came from an Italian publication. It said that Arsenal and Manchester United are the two teams who have shown the most ‘concrete’ interest in the attacker. The north London club will be making another bid. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
Gazzetta does not specify how much of an offer will be made for Osimhen. But it does reiterate that the player, who is currently 23 years old, will not be sold for less than £85 million. This is particularly because Liverpool recently agreed to pay that amount for their newest signing, Darwin Nunez.

Both clubs in the Premier League need a striker. But Manchester United may be more desperate for one in light of recent reports that Arsenal is close to agreeing to a £50m deal to bring Manchester City attacker Gabriel Jesus to the club [The Times]. This casts doubt on the possibility of them spending even more than that amount on Osimhen. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
Arsenal News Transfer: Nevertheless, the striker who plays for Italy is undeniably a genuine thing
Osimhen scored eighteen goals in 32 games across all competitions during the 2021-22 season. This led an Italian football analyst by the name of Alessandro Altobelli to declare that Osimhen is even “better than Dusan Vlahovic.”
It may be argued either way. But what cannot be contested is the fact that Osimhen is a dangerous attacker. He would be an asset to either Arsenal or the Old Trafford team. He scored four goals while on international duty earlier this week.
Arsenal recently signed a new player
The unexpected acquisition of Fabio Vieira, a midfielder for Porto, by Arsenal on Thursday afternoon was a pleasant surprise that the Gooners hadn’t realized they wanted. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
However, a sneaky Edu Gaspar has quickly transformed the outlook of the club’s summer. This has caused some restless fans to vent their frustration with the seeming lack of movement surrounding the chases of their main targets.
The agreement for Fabio Vieira sprang out of thin air. Quite literally, the 22-year-old is one of the most revered young midfielders in Portugal. If one is to judge his production as well as the ever-reliable YouTube compilations, it would seem that the Gunners may be onto something here.[ Arsenal News Transfer ]
The international player in the Under-21 category has the potential to make an early impression in north London. Although he is still very young and has just a little experience playing at the senior level. Imagine Bernardo Silva before he signed for Manchester City. To me, it is what Fabio Vieira is all about.
