Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have recently shown interest in Napoli standout Victor Osimhen. Moreover, Chelsea are reportedly done pursuing the Nigerian as they look to secure Samu Omorodion.
RadioRadio recently reported that Arsenal are making a serious bid for Osimhen as the transfer window nears its end. However, it seems he has already agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain, who are offering him a much higher salary than Arsenal.
Moreover, Journalist Ben Jacobs has noted that Osimhen is growing impatient and hopes Napoli will be more flexible with his release clause.
Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports new information on this file revealing that Arsenal remain in the race to sign Osimhen, despite strong interest from PSG. It will be interesting to see if either of these two clubs makes a serious push for the player.
