As per Team Talk, Arsenal is purportedly in a better position than Chelsea to sign Victor Osimhen during the forthcoming summer transfer window.
The Nigerian international is drawn to the Emirates Stadium because the Gunners are willing to make more alluring offers than Chelsea and have the resources to pay the player what he wants.
One of the most sought-after strikers in Europe, Osimhen is anticipated to leave Napoli during the next summer transfer window, with a number of elite teams fighting for his talents.
Among the major clubs, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal team has emerged as the front-runner, with Osimhen’s €130 million release clause.
According to TEAMtalk, “Chelsea fears they will miss out on Victor Osimhen in the summer as PSG and Arsenal nullify each other in the race to sign the in-demand Napoli forward.”
Chelsea has been in the running the longest, putting in a ton of extra effort to persuade the Nigerian international to play at Stamford Bridge the next season.
“The man who looks up to Blues legend Didier Drogba has been in constant communication with former Chelsea players.”
The former forward has been chatting with Osimhen about Chelsea and why he’s the ideal person to support the team.
“Yet, PSG and Arsenal have been in regular contact and are both eager to have him.”
The Gunners are in a favorable position due to their ambitious sporting project and steady financial state, despite Chelsea’s best efforts to persuade Osimhen to join Stamford Bridge.
Osimhen finds Arsenal’s commitment to making high-end player acquisitions and challenging for titles like the Premier League and Champions League to be very persuasive.
On the other hand, Chelsea’s lack of stability in their finances and unwillingness to overpay for players may make it more difficult for them to sign Osimhen.
Arsenal has the upper hand in the chase for Osimhen despite the Blues’ reconnaissance trips and correspondence with the striker’s agents. Arsenal can accommodate the player’s needs and has a better allure.
All things considered, Arsenal is making headway in their pursuit of Osimhen, having established themselves as the front-runners over Chelsea in the competition for the highly productive striker’s services.
