“He’s exactly the Number 9 Arteta needs at Arsenal. Just look at how good he was for his country, I’ll be the happiest man on earth if Arsenal sign him”- Arsenal Legend Ian Wright has pleaded with Arsenal owner to sign £43M forward who is his Country’s Legend and is better than Ivan Toney, Isak and Wilson

The rumors swirling around Arsenal’s desire to bolster their attacking lineup with an elite striker in the upcoming summer transfer window have been anything but discreet. Mikel Arteta’s project at the Emirates seems to be missing a crucial element, with the current striker duo of Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, despite their undeniable talent, falling short in the prolific goal-scorer department.

Enter the speculation surrounding potential targets. Once linked with Dusan Vlahovic, it appears Arsenal may have shifted their focus, now contemplating between Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen, if recent reports are to be believed. The thirst for a dedicated number nine solely focused on finding the back of the net has intensified among the Arsenal faithful.

Recently, Victor Osimhen showcased his prowess on the international stage, representing Nigeria at AFCON. Despite not netting any goals in Nigeria’s clash against Cameroon, Osimhen left an indelible mark on the game. The Napoli striker, acquired for a hefty £43 million in 2020, exhibited not only his goal-scoring prowess but also demonstrated versatility in other aspects of his game.

Soccernet in Nigeria hailed Osimhen as a ‘menace all game,’ emphasizing his relentless pressure on the Cameroon central defenders. One notable moment saw his aggressive press on Jean-Charles Castelletto, leading to the creation of Nigeria’s opening goal for Ademola Lookman. This performance shed light on Osimhen’s multifaceted skill set, dispelling the notion that he is solely a brilliant goal-scorer.

While the debate continues over whether Ivan Toney or Victor Osimhen would be the ideal addition to Arteta’s project, the latter’s potentially higher price tag is juxtaposed with the promise of a higher ceiling. In the eyes of many Arsenal fans, either of these strikers would be a commendable enhancement to the squad.

The anticipation and discussions among fans intensify as the summer transfer window approaches. Arsenal supporters yearn for a striker who can truly compete with Jesus, and while preferences lean towards Toney or Osimhen, the manager’s decision remains uncertain. In an unexpected twist, there are murmurs about the possible loan departure of an exciting Arsenal youngster in the coming days, adding another layer of intrigue to the club’s transfer dynamics.
