The Gunners have been linked with several high-profile strikers, including Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko, and Lautaro Martinez, but it is Osimhen who remains at the top of their wishlist.

According to reports, the departures of these four players could free up £500,000 per week in wages, while their combined market value sits at approximately £55 million.
However, Arsenal’s transfer budget still falls short of the fee required to land Osimhen, with Napoli demanding around £68 million for the 2023 CAF Player of the Year, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray.
