Napoli forward Victor Osimhem is eager to join the Premier League during the upcoming summer transfer period, providing Arsenal and Chelsea with added incentive to pursue him. As per football reporter Ben Jacobs via GIVEMESPORT, Osimhen’s desire to secure a move to the Premier League has reignited hopes for both Arsenal and Chelsea in their pursuit of the player. Osimhen’s performance in the AFCON with Nigeria was underwhelming, scoring just one goal in seven matches as the Super Eagles reached the final but ultimately lost to Ivory Coast. The striker has faced a challenging season due to injuries, yet he has still managed to score eight goals in 18 appearances across Serie A and the Champions League. Despite not replicating his impressive tally of 31 goals in 39 games from the previous season when Napoli won the Scudetto, Osimhen remains highly coveted in the football world, with several teams vying for his signature this summer. Jacobs explained to GIVEMESPORT, “PSG’s financial flexibility for the upcoming season allows them to freely navigate the transfer market, without being financially impacted by the potential departure of Kylian Mbappe. Consequently, they can start scouting potential replacements, such as Victor Osimhen, in case the need arises. However, there is a lower level of confidence within PSG that they can secure Osimhen’s services, as it is believed that he has a preference for a move to the Premier League. This is potentially encouraging news for Arsenal or Chelsea.” Osimhen, who recently signed a new contract with a release clause valued at approximately £112 million, has expressed his desire to leave Napoli at the end of the season. The 25-year-old forward is attracting interest from Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United, while Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis has hinted that Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain may also be potential suitors. Jacobs’ update will undoubtedly be welcomed by Osimhen’s suitors in the Premier League.
