Premier League club sends scout to watch Osimhen

According to a report from media outlet Sports Witness, Arsenal have sent scouts to monitor Osimhen, with the possibility of a summer transfer move on the cards.

Mikel Arteta's side have been without a proven centre-forward for years, and this has often been cited as a major factor behind their failure to win the Premier League despite their impressive form.

So far, the north London club have had to rely on Kai Havertz as their leading striker—an experiment that has faced its fair share of criticism.

A transfer for Osimhen is expected to command a fee in the region of €75 million, a sum that appears to be well within the reach of the Premier League side.
