The transfer door has dramatically swung open for Arsenal to sign Victor Osimhem this summer after tentative talks over a mega-money deal opened – though the Gunners will need Napoli to lower their initial valution if the deal is to happen.
The north London side have made serious strides in the last two seasons with Arteta and Edu’s innovative approach to the transfer market paying rich dividends for the Gunners. And with Arsenal having finished second in the last two Premier League title races – taking the most recent race down to the final day – plans are now in place at how they can go one step better next season.
To that end, TEAMtalk understands that Arsenal want to make three big-name signings this summer, with a left-sided defender, a midfield partner for Declan Rice and a new prolific No 9 all on their wishlist. Arsenal will also look to sign a new goalkeeper to compete with David Raya, and with Aaron Ramsdale likely to get his wish to leave the club this summer.
To kick off their summer business, TEAMtalk understands that Arsenal will formally announce the signing of Raya in a permanent £27m deal from Brentford when the summer transfer window officially opens for business.
They are also making moves for a new back-up keeper too, with reports from Spain outlining a cunning plan to snare talented Real Madrid keeper Andriy Lunin, with the Ukrainian having been left disasppointed by Carlo Ancelotti’s decision to axe him for the Champions League final at Wembley earlier this month.
However, the biggest move of all is now starting to potentially gain some traction, with Italian media reporting that talks have opened over a sensational move for Osimhen.
