Arsenal were heavily linked with a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in the summer. The Gunners weren't the only club linked with the 23-year-old, with Manchester United also mentioned.
According to Italian news outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport, Osimhen would have been happy to join the Gunners, but a move never materialised. In fairness, it's not worked out too badly for Arsenal, as Gabriel Jesus has proved to be a revelation since joining the club from Manchester City.
However, things could have been different if Edu and Mikel Arteta had opted for the Nigeria international. Given Jesus signed a five-year deal at Arsenal this summer, it's unlikely that Arsenal will go back in for Osimhen any time soon, and the striker looks set to stay at Napoli for the long term anyway.
