Napoli has set its sights on Udinese striker Beto as a possible replacement for Victor Osimhen, who is also wanted by Arsenal and Newcastle United. According to Tuttomercatoweb, Napoli has a “gut sensation” that Kim Min-jae and Osimhen will leave the club this summer.
It has been reported that both Arsenal and Newcastle are considering making a summer move for Osimhen to the Premier League. Napoli is preparing for this possibility by pursuing a transfer for Beto, a striker for Udinese.
Top-tier Victor Osimhen might surprise with a move to Arsenal or Newcastle. Osimhen, at age 24, has established himself as one of the most promising young attackers in Serie A. The Nigerian has scored nine times and assisted on two more in 11 outings in Serie A this season.
Will Victor Osimhen move to Arsenal or Newcastle United, with the attacker still wanted by a host of top clubs across Europe?
Osimhen, who thrived for Lille, has maintained his goal-scoring brilliance in Italy. He has netted 14 times in 27 Serie A appearances last season. Still, it’s not easy to see Osimhen joining Arsenal or Newcastle this summer.
Gabriel Jesus was an expensive addition as a striker for Arsenal from Manchester City last year. Even if the Brazilian has an injury, he is still Arsenal’s first choice. Therefore it’s doubtful that they’ll spend more than £80 million on Osimhen.
Similarly, at Newcastle, Alexander Isak, who was purchased for a hefty price last summer and is widely seen as the club’s future starting forward, is viewed as a cornerstone of the Magpies’ success. However, he has been missing from action at present. This has hurt the Toons.
What’s next for the player; has a potential move been finalized already and the announcement is just inevitable?
We don’t think they’ll splash the cash on Osimhen so soon after signing Isak. We predict he’ll end up someplace like Manchester United or Bayern Munich. After a month-long celebration of Argentina’s 2022 World Cup victory in Qatar, the Premier League resumed play at the end of December. When the World Cup started, Arsenal was riding high. Like other teams, it was frustrating for them that the break came so early in the season.
Although Arsenal sent a few players to the World Cup after they were called up by their national teams, the club was understandably concerned that the players’ absence may lead to injuries that would derail their otherwise stellar Premier League season. The majority of Arsenal’s players returned to the Emirates Stadium unscathed after representing Brazil in the World Cup. But the Gabriel Jesus injury became a problem. And he will miss many months of action.
