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.”

We understand that the London club had engaged in discussions with Zubimendi's representatives as early as March, reaching a verbal agreement over a deal. The Spain international had even agreed a contract length and salary with the club.

Communication with the Zubimendi camp went dark, though, and a deal was never completed.
