Top quality
In our view, Victor Osimhen is one of the best strikers out there and would make Arsenal or Chelsea better.
Yes, Arsenal have Gabriel Jesus as their number one striker, but Osimhen would make the Gunners more potent and would give manager Mikel Arteta another option in attack.
Chelsea have a greater need for Osimhen than Arsenal, as the Blues do need a top number 9.
The 24-year-old has scored 21 goals and given four assists in 22 Serie A starts for Napoli so far this season.
The Nigeria international striker has also scored four goals in four UEFA Champions League starts so far this campaign.
Meanwhile, former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell has said on Highbury Squad that Osimhen would make the Gunners better.
Campbell said: “We have been linked with Osimhen. That’s the type of striker that you think he is the one.”
