Arsenal are interested in a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

The 25-year-old continues to be linked with a move away from Italy’s Serie A after deciding not to renew his contract with Napoli.

Negotiations with Chelsea are said to have failed to take off despite reports indicating a potential swap deal, which would see Romelu Lukaku head to Naples.

That now leaves the Gunners in the lead out of Osimhen’s potential suitors in the Premier League, with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believed to be exploring the market to find a No. 9 this summer.

Osimhen scored 15 goals while assisting another three in 25 league games in the last season, and he has a release clause in his contract that can be activated for £113 million.
