This summer Arsenal is looking for a new striker. Mikel Arteta has made the Gunners a strong squad once again after a few erratic seasons. Twice already, they have come dangerously close to winning the Premier League, but they have failed. Maybe a fresh, elite striker is what they need to break through Manchester City’s supremacy.
Arsenal wants to sign Victor Osimhen, one of the top attackers in the world right now. Though major teams like Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are interested, Osimhen want to relocate to North London. Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli was where Italian journalist Valter De Maggio disclosed this inclination. Osimhen, he said, has the Premier League as his first objective and may think about moving to Saudi Arabia if no good offers arrive from England.
€130m Star Striker Wants To Join Arsenal
A substantial €130 million release clause is part of Osimhen’s Napoli deal. The striker is still looking to leave the Italian club despite this high price tag. His stellar record of 31 goals the previous season and 17 this one says it all. Any squad would benefit from his goal-scoring ability.
Arsenal has to get a new forward very badly. Last season’s performances by Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus fell short of expectations. Though Osimhen’s presence would improve the team’s offensive, Kai Havertz performed excellently as a false nine. Though Arsenal may have to go far into their transfer budget to obtain Osimhen, it could be the key to severing Manchester City’s grip on the Premier League championship.
Arsenal supporters should have a thrilling summer transfer window. The Gunners may emerge as real championship challengers under Arteta’s direction and a possible great striker like Osimhen. Whether Arsenal can complete this big acquisition and take a big stride toward Premier League glory will be seen over the coming several weeks.

Arsenal’s summer pursuit of Rennes attacking midfielder Desire Doue could have gotten a big boost. Doue has created a stir in Ligue 1 and established himself as one of the best players in French football. Top clubs showing interest in him is not surprising. Journalist Abdellah Boulma just wrote on X about interest from Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain. Le 10 Sport suggests, however, that despite earlier reports, PSG may not be giving the 18-year-old priority just now.
PSG’s exit from the picture has increased Arsenal’s chances of obtaining Doue’s signing this summer. Given that Manchester United and Tottenham would not be playing in the Champions League the next season, the young French international would probably choose Arsenal over them. Top young talent like Doue is what Arsenal could use. With Gabriel Martinelli having a poor season, Mikel Arteta needs options to Bukayo Saka.
The anticipation among Arsenal supporters is for more frontal firepower this summer. Doue has skill, no matter if some people disagree that he was the right acquisition. With his arrival, Arsenal’s offense may have much-needed depth and inventiveness. Considering how close Arteta’s team was to winning the Premier League in the 2023–24 campaign, some contend that a more seasoned and clinical finisher is required. They contend that rather than a young midfielder who could reach his prime in a few years, someone who can contribute right now is required.
