Arsenal have struggled to score goals this season and could fix that problem in the January transfer window.
The Gunners have relied heavily on set pieces this season to score goals and the likes of Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard have failed to make much of an impact this season.
To challenge for the league title, the north London side need a player who can score goals for fun, just as Liverpool have the luxury of Mohamed Salah in their squad.
according to Football InsiderArsenal are exploring a January move for striker Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian is currently on loan at Galatasaray, but Napoli have the option to offload the striker in January and sell him if any club are interested in signing him.
In 15 games this season, Osimhen has managed to score 12 goals for the Turkish giants, once again proving his quality this season.
Chelsea have previously been linked with the striker but since the progression of Nicolas Jackson this season, they are happy with their current options in attack and that leaves Arsenal as the team who could become the favorites to sign the Napoli star.
Arsenal face competition from Premier League rivals
The reporter says the Arsenal player is desperate to sign
The Gunners could face competition from Manchester United, who are also monitoring the striker’s progress in the Turkish league this season.
According to the report, the Red Devils are currently unhappy with their existing options of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund in attack and are ready to add more goals to their attacking firepower.
In 18 Premier League games, Man United have scored just 21 goals, which shows how much they need the addition of a prolific striker to the squad.
Given the performance of both teams at the moment and the standards of both clubs, Osimhen would prefer a move to Mikel Arteta’s side at the moment rather than Ruben Amorim’s 14th-placed Man United.
The Gunners have been too linked with a January move for Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram.
