In a major twist to the summer transfer window, Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen is reportedly ready to give his “green light” to join English Premier League champions Arsenal, provided the Gunners can reach a financial agreement with Galatasaray.
The 27-year-old Super Eagles striker has emerged as a primary target for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who is actively seeking an elite, world-class goalscorer to spearhead his frontline for the upcoming campaign.
Arsenal’s search for a top-tier striker has intensified following a series of squad adjustments at the Emirates Stadium.

Despite signing Swedish forward Viktor Gyökeres last summer, the striker endured a mixed debut campaign in North London. Coupled with the imminent departure of Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus, Arteta has made recruiting a physically dominant, clinical No. 9 his top priority.
Arsenal initially explored a deal for Atletico Madrid’s Julián Alvarez earlier in the window, but the Spanish side repeatedly rebuffed their approaches. Consequently, Arsenal has shifted its full focus back to Osimhen.
