The latest report from the Milan Sports newspaper shows that Arsenal continue to look for a striker to replace Lacazette, whose contract expires after the end of the season, arsenal set its sights on Napoli's Nigerian striker Osmayne.
Osmayne is Arsenal's long-term target and Arteta values the Nigerian striker's all-around attributes, the media said. However, Osmayne is a non-seller for Napoli, and Arsenal need to pay a transfer fee of up to 100 million euros, about 83 million pounds, if Arsenal wants to bring in the Nigerian striker in the summer window, which is also the list price of the Germans for Osmayne.
Osmayne, 23, is 1.86 meters tall and is a right-footed all-around striker who can play as a centre-forward or a winger in both the left and right positions. So far this season, Osmayne has played 22 Serie A games for Napoli, including 19 starts, scoring 12 goals and 1 assist, and scoring 4 goals in 3 starts in 5 Europa League appearances. Osmayne's contract with Napoli expires in 2025, and the current value of the player in Germany is 60 million euros.
Arsenal sent away high-paid player Aubameyang in the winter window, and Lacazette's contract with Arsenal expired after the end of the season, Arsenal intended to let Lacazette cut his salary to renew his contract, but the French striker intended to leave the team on free. Arsenal are in dire need of a striker, with Osmayne and Nunez both targeting Arsenal, but they are expensive and competitive.
Italian media said osmayn's 100 million euros was a bit outrageous, but arsenal could not take down the Nigerian striker without 70 million euros. Modern football, gold dollars opened the way, blame only Arsenal themselves 80 million euros to buy "scrap wood" Pepe, now led to no one on the front line available. There are also insufficient reserves at the back, Thomas is injured, Arsenal have suffered three consecutive defeats in the fourth, and a season of efforts is likely to fail because of these three losses.
