The former Lille striker is one of the highly-rated young players in world football. The Super Eagles striker left Lille for Napoli in August 2020 after he scored 18 goals in 39 appearances for the former French Champions.

Although the Nigeria international has struggled to put up consistent performances for the Partenopei due to injury issues, he has proven to be a quality talisman whenever he is fit, with 19 goals for Napoli in 46 appearances.

According to Gazzetta, the two Premier League clubs, Arsenal and Newcastle are set to submit over 60 million Euro bids for Osimhen.

The Gunners are looking to replace former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. And after their move for Dusan Vlahovic fell through, they have their sights set on the Napoli striker.
