Arsenal and Chelsea Monitoring Victor Osimhen’s Situation
Victor Osimhen was loaned from Napoli to Galatasaray Istanbul during the last summer transfer window. The move of the 25-year-old striker to the Bosphorus was quite a sensation, as the Nigerian was also linked with European giants. However, the striker did not reach an agreement with any of the top clubs before the market closed. The transfer window in Turkey lasted longer, hence the star’s move to the Lions’ squad.
The stay of the 35-time Nigerian international at Galatasaray Istanbul may be very short. According to Ekrem Konur on social media, Victor Osimhen could land in the Premier League as early as winter. Arsenal and Chelsea are both looking to strengthen their attacking lines. The current release clause for the striker is reportedly around 80 million euros, so the London clubs would have to consider a similar expenditure.
The 186-centimeter-tall striker has played a total of 4 matches in the Galatasaray Istanbul jersey, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists. The management of the Turkish powerhouse naturally wants to keep the Nigerian star at least until the summer, and even attempt to buy him outright. However, it seems that the player’s goal is to return to a top league. Victor Osimhen was the best player in Serie A in the 2022/2023 season when the Naples team won the scudetto.
