Balogun follows Tierney and Xhaka through Arsenal’s exit door
Folarin Balogun, Kieran Tierney and Granit Xhaka have been the biggest Arsenal exits this summer. But who else has departed and is also set to leave?
Following his excellent form for the Italian champions, Osimhen remains a hot property with several top European clubs keeping close tabs on him.
According to a report by Football Transfers, one of the clubs Arsenal have already held talks as they look to sign the Nigerian striker ahead of deadline day.
Arsenal’s sporting director Edu Gaspar has reportedly contacted Napoli’s owner Aurelio De Laurentiis to enquire about the possibility of luring their star man away from Naples.
The move by the Gunners is in a bid to help manager, Mikel Arteta build on their title charge last season with the addition of a world class forward.
Arteta sees for the former LOSC Lille man as the ideal striker to lead his Arsenal side as they look to challenge defending champions Manchester City for the Premier League title again.
While Arsenal and Arteta are huge admirers, it is rather unlikely that Osimhen will depart Napoli on deadline day.
The Nigerian superstar looks set to remain at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, where he still has two years left on his current contract.
