Arsenal not ready for Osimhen bidding war with Chelsea

Premier League title chasing Arsenal seems to be leaning towards not getting involved in a major bidding war with London rival, Chelsea for Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.

The development has handed Chelsea a potentially significant boost in the pursuit of the transfer of Napoli striker this summer as Arsenal now seems to have switched focus to Joshua Zirkzee.

The young Dutch forward has impressed with Bologna this season and may be considerably cheaper than Osimhen, who has also been strongly linked with Chelsea for some time.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited and translated by Sport Witness, Osimhen is likely to cost as much as €130m.

It’s suggested Arsenal may decide it’s better to leave that to Chelsea, so Gunners fans will no doubt be intrigued by the decision, as that strategy has served them pretty well with other players like Moises Caicedo and Mykhailo Mudryk in recent times.
