Mikel Arteta’s side has long been linked with several top strikers, including Victor Osimhen, Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko, and Viktor Gyokeres.

However, according to Football365, Osimhen remains a priority target for Arsenal, given his goal-scoring prowess and physical presence in attack, which has seen him score 23 goals in all competitions for Galatasaray this season, Transfermarkt reports.

The Gunners have struggled to find a reliable striker, and many believe that failing to sign an elite striker has cost them the league title in recent campaigns.

With the summer transfer window approaching, Arsenal are making bold moves to strengthen their squad, and selling key players could be the first step in funding a marquee signing like Osimhen.

Four players set to leave the Emirates

According to reports from GOAL, Arsenal are prepared to part ways with four first-team players to raise funds for their summer spending. Those expected to leave include:

Oleksandr Zinchenko – The Ukrainian defender has struggled with injuries and defensive inconsistencies, making him a sellable asset.

Jorginho – The Italian midfielder’s contract is nearing its end, and with Arsenal looking for younger options, he is set to depart.

Thomas Partey – Once a crucial figure in midfield, Partey has seen his game time limited due to injuries and tactical changes.

Kieran Tierney – Tierney is unlikely to have a future at Arsenal and will be sold permanently.

By offloading these four players, Arsenal could free up around £500,000 per week in wages, allowing them to accommodate the salary demands of a top-class striker like Osimhen.

Arsenal’s title ambitions drive their transfer plans

Arsenal’s intent to bring in a world-class striker highlights their determination to challenge for the Premier League title.

Osimhen, who has been one of Europe’s most lethal finishers at Napoli, is viewed as the missing piece in Arteta’s attacking setup.

The potential sale of key players will help fund the move, but competition from other European giants means the Gunners will have to present an attractive offer to both Napoli and the Nigerian forward.
