The Premier League giants could be tempted to return to their pursuit of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen after finding out how much his alternative will cost
Arsenal and Chelsea could be reigniting their interest in Napoli's Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen after learning the price tag of their preferred alternative, Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres.
Napoli's high demands for Osimhen
Victor Osimhen's impressive goal-scoring record speaks for itself. The Nigerian striker netted a remarkable 26 goals last season, playing a pivotal role in Napoli's triumph in Serie A, where they secured their first league title since the era of Diego Maradona. Such outstanding performances led to Osimhen's contract renewal at Napoli, further solidifying his value in the eyes of the Italian club.
Following Osimhen's recent contract renewal, Napoli has set a staggering price tag of €130 million for the prolific striker. This hefty valuation has led potential suitors, including Arsenal and Chelsea, to explore alternative options in the transfer market.
Gyokeres's Price Tag Revealed
Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres has emerged as a potential alternative for both Arsenal and Chelsea. However, the revelation of Gyokeres's €100 million price tag, as disclosed by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, has given the London clubs pause.
With Gyokeres's price tag potentially deterring Arsenal and Chelsea, the focus may once again shift towards Victor Osimhen. Despite Napoli's high valuation, the Nigerian striker's proven track record and undeniable talent could prompt a reevaluation of their pursuit by the London clubs.
As the transfer window approaches, Arsenal and Chelsea find themselves at a crucial juncture, weighing their options and strategizing their moves to bolster their attacking options. Whether they opt to meet Napoli's lofty demands for Osimhen or explore other avenues, the forthcoming weeks promise to be filled with anticipation and intrigue in the world of football transfers.
