Arsenal are interested in Napoli top scorers and Real Madrid are interested in Tierney as Marcelo's replacement

Arsenal, which plans to sign a top scorer in the summer window first, have included 23-year-old Napoli striker Victor Osimn in the roster.

The Mirror reported that Arsenal are pursuing Napoli's Osimn, who have prioritized bringing in a striker since the summer window.

The bad news is that Napoli are said to be asking for £60m from the player, but bringing in a centre-forward is inevitable at a high cost.

Osimn has suffered some setbacks at Napoli this season, receiving a red card in the first game, followed by a calf strain in October and then a fractured cheekbone in November.

These circumstances limit his appearances in Serie A and the Europa League to 17 (13 starts). In these games he scored 10 goals, scoring an average of one in 115 minutes, in addition to two penalties.

These goals included a double against Leicester City in September.

The goalscorer also scored against Chelsea in 2019, meaning he scored three goals in two official matches against Premier League side.

Osimn became another option in Arsenal's signing list after Isaac and Lewin.

With Lacazette and Nketiah likely to leave, Arsenal desperately need to bring in several strikers in the summer window.

So it's a smart move to focus on multiple targets, and if they hit a wall at a club, they have other options.

Real Madrid are said to be keeping an eye on Arsenal player Tierney, who are looking for a replacement for Marcelo but are unlikely to have too many opportunities.

El Espanol reported that Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Tierney as Marcelo's contract expires this summer and is likely to retire.

The Western media also added that the issue of bringing in Tierney as a replacement is the price of the player, and signing the left-back is expected to require at least 30 million euros.

Considering that Real Madrid are looking for a replacement for Mendy, this number is a bit too high for them.

I suspect that even €30 million (£25 million) won't be enough to complete the signing. That's not much for the price as when Arsenal signed Tiernini, when he was a younger and less experienced player.

And now that he's a starter who's approaching his prime, he's renewed his contract until 2026.

The left-back is even seen as one of Arsenal's future captains.

The Gunners should not let him go without gaining anything.

Tierney has made 19 appearances this season, contributing 1 goal and 3 assists and helping the team keep nine clean sheets.

If Real Madrid are stuck with a £25m price, they will need to look for other targets and the introduction of Tierney is unlikely.
