The details
The Gunners were thought to be keen on Osimhen last summer but failed to pursue him due to his €130 million release clause. That number has now since halved, and more suitors are expected at Napoli's door.
According to a report from Sports Witness, the Gunners never truly pulled out their interest and have secretly sent scouts to watch and report on the Nigerian’s progress in Turkey.
Should they pull the trigger, they will have to contend with fellow Premier League side Chelsea, who Mikel Obi is confident will return for Osimhen after nearing an agreement last summer. Also, Pulse Sports reported that Serie A sides AC Milan and Juventus are now in the running as well.
