Chelsea’s recent behavior has given the Gunners a major edge in the Victor Osimhen signing competition. Eager to leave Napoli, the Nigerian striker had an agreement with the Italian team to leave at the conclusion of the season. He now looks for the appropriate offer. It first seemed PSG would get Osimhen’s signature. Chelsea then expressed interest and suggested adding the former Lille striker to their team. But things have changed and Arsenal has fresh optimism.

For Arsenal during the previous several weeks, Chelsea’s interest presented a challenge. Osimhen’s future remained unknown because the Blues were resolved to bring him to Stamford Bridge. But a Foot Italia analysis shows that Chelsea has lately turned their attention to Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion. Chelsea is no longer a rival in the hunt of Osimhen with this change in interest.

Chelsea Give A Big Boost To Arsenal For Victor Osimhen

For Arsenal, this is rather welcome. Chelsea out of the picture clarifies the route to sign the Nigerian striker. Now, should they move quickly and make an appealing offer, the Gunners stand a stronger chance of landing his services. Osimhen is a perfect target as he wants to leave Napoli and the current contract with the club. Arsenal has to grab this chance fast and act. Osimhen’s goal-scoring power and talents would be much appreciated in the attacking line of the Gunners.

The next weeks will be vital as Osimhen’s future becomes more defined. Arsenal supporters will pay great attention, hoping the team may negotiate a contract for the explosive striker. Chelsea is concentrating elsewhere, hence the Gunners have a good chance to get one of Europe’s best players. Arsenal has to grab this chance and guarantee Osimhen, in my view. His inclusion would greatly increase the team’s offensive choices and provide the firepower required for a good season. The Gunners must not let this chance pass through their hands.

Belgian teams Standard Liege and Eupen have shown an interest in Arsenal’s youthful attacker Nathan Butler-Oyedeji. According to sources close to Football Insider, both teams are eager to land a permanent contract for the twenty-one year old before the August 31 transfer window closes. The Gunners apparently seem willing to let Butler-Oyedeji go. Mikel Arteta has positioned him low in the pecking order and has not included him particularly in his plans. Butler-Oyedeji made 13 League One appearances but failed to reach the back of the goal during his first half of last season stay with Cheltenham Town.

When the teenage attacker went back to Arsenal’s Under-21s in January, he clearly improved. In 14 games he showed promise by scoring six goals and dishing two assists. Still, the club seems ready to split ways with him, perhaps to simplify the team and create space for fresh acquisitions. Arteta is looking for a new number nine in current transfer window. Arsenal may sell several marginal players, like Butler-Oyedeji, to help finance this bold action. Having been observing Nigeria internationally for some time, the Gunners could advocate a notable acquisition to increase their offensive possibilities.

For Butler-Oyedeji, moving to Belgium might provide a new start and an opportunity for further development. Standard Liege and Eupen provide a competitive scene where he might establish his value and get worthwhile experience. Both teams want to improve their teams, hence Butler-Oyedeji’s adaptability might be rather beneficial.
