Kai Havertz’s major breakthrough at the striker position in the second part of the Premier League season gave Arsenal a tremendous lift and suggested that perhaps Chelsea had been the issue all along.
Arsenal knows they still need that profile to bolster their team, thus despite Havertz’s talent, they are still searching for a pure No. 9 on the trade market this summer.
Arsenal was defeated by Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich in the Champions League, but Erling Haaland’s Manchester City prevailed over them in the Premier League title match.
It’s difficult to imagine anything else if those don’t indicate what Arsenal is lacking in order to overcome the best teams in Europe.
Even though, when all is said and done, Benjamin Sesko appears to be Arsenal’s best alternative, Victor Osimhen of Napoil remains the most intriguing prospect that the Gunners are still keeping an eye on.
As Gianluca Di Marzio, an Italian transfer expert, pointed out, only Arsenal is now expressing interest in signing Victor Osimhen.
Given how much Chelsea and PSG could use a superstar forward and how closely both incredibly wealthy teams have been linked to the incredibly pricey Osimhen, it may come as a great surprise.
In order to beat Manchester City to the punch, Arsenal demonstrated last summer that they were willing to pay a premium for top transfer targets when they signed Declan Rice for 105 million pounds.
However, considering Osimhen’s history of injuries, agreeing to a 130 million euro release clause for the star striker seems like a big risk, especially considering that Sesko is a younger, less expensive option.
