The 26-year-old former Lille striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been on the radar of several top European clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea and Napoli are unlikely to retain Osimhen beyond this season.
According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal’s willingness to meet the valuation puts them in a strong position to land one of Europe’s most prolific strikers.
