Arsenal 'are the number one contenders to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer' but the Serie A side 'want £84million' for the Nigerian... 'with Man United and Newcastle also chasing his signature'

Arsenal are leading the race to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer, according to reports in Italy - but it could set the Gunners back £84million.

Osimhen has netted 17 goals for the Naples outfit this season and has his admirers in the Premier League after some strong displays for both Lille and in Serie A over the last few years.

Arsenal will be in need of new firepower next season as they chase Champions League football, with both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah - the club's only recognised strikers - on course to leave on free transfers at the end of the campaign if they cannot agree new deals.
