Arsenal Newsnow: Napoli place a staggering €150m asking price on star footballer, Victor Osimhen, with Arsenal and Chelsea believed to be very keen on signing him.
Arsenal Newsnow: The 70% of the Premier League season has been done and dusted already. The EPL clubs are geared up to do well for the rest of the season, a much-needed surge that will help them finish in a better position in the points table. As things stand, Arsenal are the favourites to win the Premier League title.
At the same time, one must be aware of the fact that Manchester City are in the race too. They are just five points below Arsenal and will be expecting the Gunners to drop some points here and there.

It will be quite interesting to see what the future holds in store for Arsenal and its supporters. In fact, it has been a glorious season for them as they have never lost even a single game in any of the London Derbies. Thus, they became the first team in the history of the English Premier League to win a total of nine London Derbies.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have plenty of work to do in the EPL. Moreover, they are out of all other competition. It will also give them enough breathing space to focus only on this competition. Meanwhile, Arsenal have collected as many as 69 points from 28 matches. The Gunners have won 22 games, drew thrice and lost three games so far. [ Arsenal Newsnow ]
Napoli place €150m asking price on the Nigerian star
Meanwhile, Serie A table toppers have reportedly placed a staggering €150m (£130m) asking price on star striker Victor Osimhen. As things stand, the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea are keen to sign the Nigerian international. As per Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli are not interested to sell the star striker in the summer.

The Nigerian international is having a record-breaking season. Moreover, he is currently on course to become the first-ever African to clinch the Capocannoniere award in Italy as the top-flight’s main goalscorer. The 24-year-old has found the back of the net on 21 occasions in this division.
With the player in red-hot form, it is highly unlikely that Napoli will even think of letting him go. Napoli have set a huge asking price given the striker’s terrific goal-scoring record. Despite the fact that £130m is a huge amount, Arsenal and Chelsea might meet the asking price. [ Arsenal Newsnow ]
However, Chelsea Football Club could easily match Napoli’s asking price, given that financial rules don’t apply to them as well. Nigerian international told The Athletic that he has been working very hard to ensure that he accomplishes his dream of playing in the English Premier League. “I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League someday but, as I said, it is a process and I just want to keep on this momentum and continue to do well,” he added.
