According to Caughtoffside, the Marseille stars want Arsenal to sign Chelsea's long-term target Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray.
Gallas stated that the former CAF Player of the Year would likely spend just one season at his current club, and Arsenal should try to sign him before other teams swoop in.
The former France U20 player also added that Osimhen is a top-quality player with the potential to score 20 goals in a season for Arsenal per Metro. He said via Prime Casino:
I think Victor Osimhen would be the man I would try and sign if I were the coach. He’s been performing well for Galatasaray, obviously on loan from Napoli, and he’s only going to be there for a season.
He’s a good player and maybe can score 20 a season. But if he doesn’t, he gives you movement, he gives space for the second forward to exploit and score goals.
Is he too much of a big player for Arteta? Maybe Mikel Arteta doesn't have the personality to manage players like Osimhen or to deal with players with personality.
Big managers like Klopp, Guardiola, Ancelotti, Mourinho and Ferguson. Even Arsene, he had the personality of being our friend, but he knew how to speak to players.
I’ve been saying that Arsenal need to sign a world-class striker for two years. If you want to win the league, you need to have a striker that can score at least 20 goals. It didn't happen.
The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to both Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool this summer.
