Arsenal Transfer News Today: Osimhen deal ALIVE, Zubimendi AGREEMENT, Adingra RUMOUR
The latest Arsenal football transfer news updates, with the hottest updates on all the potential new signings and sales at the Emirates Stadium, including Victor Osimhen, Martin Zubimendi and Simon Adingra.
Arsenal re-ignite Osimhen interest
Arsenal are back in for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, according to a report from Sky Sport Italia.
The Serie A side are struggling to broker a deal for the Nigeria international, who Il Mattino states will not leave on loan and is not prepared to receive a cut to his wages.
On top of this, Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna said: “Victor is a player who wants to leave and last year there was already a situation in place. We are calm because we have guys in the squad to replace him.
“Osimhen is a strong player but we want to give integrity to the group and we prefer to protect the group. We will see what happens in the next 20 days.”

Gunners’ Zubimendi frustration
Arsenal had a deal agreed with Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi's camp before Liverpool started talks, FootballTransfers exclusively revealed.

No major outlet has picked up on these claims.
