Victor Osimhen breaks silence on potential summer transfer amid Arsenal links

Arsenal target Victor Osimhen has spoken out about a potential transfer this summer.

The Gunners need to sign at least one centre-forward after allowing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join Barcelona in January whilst Alexandre Lacazette is set to rejoin Lyon on a free transfer at the end of the month. Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus has been heavily linked with a move to the north London outfit and technical director Edu has held talks with the player's representatives, football.london understands.

Another name that has been mooted as a potential target is Napoli frontman Osimehn, who joined the Serie A giants from Lille just under two years ago. Now, he has delivered an update on his future with Gli Azzuri, admitting that anything can happen in the coming months.

Speaking to CalcioMercato, the Nigerian international said: “I know there are many people that would like me in Spain or England, but I don't think it's the right time to talk about it now that I'm with the national team. I always go out on the pitch to do my best both with the national team and with my club.

“I don't know my future, I know anything can happen, but now I just want to go on holiday with my family, clear my head and recharge my batteries. Then we'll take care of everything else.”

Osimhen enjoyed a productive 2021/22 campaign, netting 18 goals and providing a further six assists in 32 outings across all competitions.
