Victor Osimhen admits that his future will stay in the air after Arsenal was encouraged to sign him.
The Nigerian has been one of the most sought after strikers in world football in recent seasons. Chelsea was seriously interested last summer, but was unable to get a deal for the Napoli star, which led to a shock to Turkish side Galatasaray.
Osimhen has only a matter of months about that deal, who would see his future under the microscope again, amidst the reported interest of Arsenal and Manchester United. The striker recently suggested that he still has no idea where he could be next season.
“To be honest, I don't know,” said Osimhen. “You know that in recent months I never thought I would come here, I never believed that I would come to Galatasaray, despite how big they are.
“I am living for the time being. I don't know what will happen in the summer, but I want everyone to understand that I really love this club.
“I love the fans, I love the president, I love everyone associated with the club. It is really a big problem to be here and I really enjoy my time here. “
Osimhen continued his stunning form during his time in Istanbul. The 26-year-old has 20 goals in 26 performances in all competitions this period, form that Arsenal has encouraged to take a step.
Alan Shearer believes that the attacker would be an excellent signing for the Gunners, although it is concerned about the price they can pay. About the rest is a football podcast, he said: “Victor Osimhen is that he is not. He would undoubtedly score goals for them.
“The problem they have now is that the whole world knows that they need an attacker. So a player who has cost perhaps £ 60-70 million will now be worth £ 100-110 million when Arsenal arrives.
“They will have to pay the chances and maybe there were problems last summer and in January they might refuse to pay for someone. They need a center of the top class, they did it before a ball was kicked this season and my Opinion has not changed. “
And while Shearer believes that Osimhen would be a good candidate for the striking vacancy of Arsenal, his colleague Gary Lineker has a different idea. He has insisted the side of North Londs to take a step for Ipswich Forward Liam Delap.
