Mikel Arteta and Edu given £67 million Arsenal transfer instruction to sign in-demand striker

Napoli have slapped a £67 million price-tag on Arsenal striking target Victor Osimhen. The Gunners are looking to strengthen their front-line following the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the January transfer window and the potential departure of other striking options.

Eddie Nketiah replaced Alexandre Lacazette in Mikel Arteta's starting XI in midweek and found the net twice against Chelsea. But as things stand, both players will leave the Emirates at the end of the season when their contracts expire.

The Gunners were linked with a number of exciting striking options in January including Dusan Vlahovic, before he opted to join Juventus instead. Real Sociedad's Alexander Isak and, more recently, Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus have been linked with a switch to north London as well and Arteta has already signalled the club's intent to strengthen in attack.
