Arsenal are planning to meet with the agents of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen ahead of a potential summer transfer window move for the player.

Sources with a close understanding of the situation have informed CaughtOffside that Osimhen is one of the names Arsenal are exploring as an option up front this summer.

The Gunners are eager to strengthen in that position, though it’s felt that Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres remain higher up on the north Londoners’ list for now.

“I left Arsenal because my wife told me she wanted to get out of London – then six months later she told me to go BACK!” – which Arsenal legend instantly regretted leaving?

Osimhen is someone Arsenal like, though, and they’re set to hold initial discussions to explore the possibility of a deal for the Nigeria international.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain will also be three teams to watch in the race for Osimhen’s signature, CaughtOffside understands.

Osimhen was strongly targeted by both Chelsea and PSG last year before his surprise loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray.

CaughtOffside understands that both clubs remain interested in the 26-year-old, who has a €75m release clause in the next transfer window.

Man Utd are also in the market for a new striker, with Osimhen one of the names they’re keen on, though their lack of Champions League football could hurt them.

Despite that, it’s understood that Osimhen would still be open to considering a move to Old Trafford.
