Arsenal: ‘New bid sent’ amid Victor Osimhen decision as ‘negotiations restart’ to sell Gunners star

According to reports, Arsenal have decided whether to step up their interest in Napoli forward Victor Osimhen, who is also being linked with Chelsea.

So far this summer, Arsenal have made two signings as they have invested heavily to acquire David Raya and Riccardo Calafiori from Brentford and Bologna.

The Gunners are also understood to be considering a move for Spain international Mikel Merino, while they could decide to sign a new striker.

The Premier League giants have been heavily linked with Osimhen this summer, but Chelsea and PSG have also been mooted as potential destinations.

Osimhen is regarded as one of the best strikers playing in Europe, but his huge valuation has previously priced him out of a move elsewhere.

A deal for the 25-year-old – who scored 15 goals in his 25 Serie A outings last season – remains difficult as there is a release clause in his contract worth around £110m.

Chelsea have moved to sign a cheaper alternative as they have agreed to sign Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion in a deal that should be the final straw for club supporters.
