William Gallas has urged Arsenal to sign Victor Osimhen this summer

Former Arsenal defender William Gallas has endorsed Victor Osimhen as the ideal striker for the Gunners to sign in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Osimhen, on loan from Napoli, has been in scintillating form for Galatasaray, this season, recording 20 goals as he became the Super Lig’s top scorer ahead of the first international break with the Super Eagles.

What Gallas said

With Arsenal expected to boost their attacking lineup following another underwhelming campaign, Gallas believes Osimhen's impressive form makes him an attractive prospect.

Gallas praised Osimhen's goal-scoring ability, suggesting he could net 20 goals per season. He also highlighted the Nigerian striker's capacity to draw defenders' attention, creating opportunities for other attackers.

"Osimhen would be the man I would try to sign," Gallas told Prime Casino.

He continued, "He has been performing well for Galatasaray, obviously on loan from Napoli, and he is only going to be there for a season."

"He is a good player. Maybe not the player, but perhaps he could score 20 goals a season.

"He draws defenders' attention, so he could play alongside Kai Havertz or another striker. He would have a bit more freedom, which would allow him to score goals for the club. That is why a striker like him would be a good fit for Arsenal," Gallas said.

Arsenal will host Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday as they aim to continue pursuit for the Premier League title.
