The Record FA Cup winners are in need of a 20-goal-per-season striker in a bid to compete for the English Premier League title, though it’s felt that Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres remain higher up on the north Londoners’ list for now.

Should Mikel Arteta’s side prioritize the Nigerian forward, they’ll face stiff competition from other top European teams. Osimhen was strongly targeted by both Chelsea and PSG last year before his surprise loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray.

Osimhen has been a crucial member of Okan Buruk’s side this season, helping them remain four points clear at the top of the Turkish Super Lig.
