Victor Osimhen hands Arsenal £84m transfer blow after secret Didier Drogba Chelsea confession

Victor Osimhen has handed Arsenal a sucker punch in their efforts to sign a new striker in the upcoming transfer window. The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, though his latest admission could cause a commotion among Gunners fans.

The north London outfit are one of several teams linked with a move for the Nigeria international as Edu looks to strengthen Mikel Arteta's front line. As previously reported by football.london, Arsenal will target two centre-forwards this summer.

While it's understood that Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus and Roma's Tammy Abraham are on the club's radar, reports have suggested that Osimhen is another potential option. Last month, Edu was told by transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio that Arsenal will have to pay at least €100million (£83.7million) in order to secure the striker's services.
