This will definitely be exciting news for Arsenal fans. The team’s attacking play probably leaves a lot to be desired this season, even though they are currently top of the Premier League and have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Victor Gokeres joined Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon last summer but failed to impress in his first season at the Emirates Stadium and many fans will see Osimhen as an upgrade.
Victor Osimhen could take Arsenal’s attack to a new level
A tall, powerful centre-forward who can score and create, Osimhen has all the ingredients to make it big in the Premier League.
The 27-year-old has scored 20 goals and provided five assists for Galatasaray this season, and had an impressive debut season last season with 37 goals in 41 games.
All in all, this definitely looks like a good deal for Arsenal. This is because Arsenal will be signing a proven goalscorer who will be able to further upgrade the score they currently have. However, he won’t be cheap and he won’t be the youngest…
