Arsenal targets Victor Osimhen amid transfer wage demands

Arsenal is reportedly considering Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen as a potential striker to strengthen their attack, though financial terms remain a significant obstacle. The London club has reportedly informed the Nigerian striker that he must accept a reduction in his current salary to comply with their strict wage structure. Osimhen currently earns an annual net salary of over €20m at Galatasaray.

Former player Emmanuel Petit has identified Osimhen as a powerful alternative for Arsenal should their pursuit of Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez fail. While Alvarez has emerged as a primary target, Arsenal continues to seek high-level competition for their current attacking options as the transfer window approaches its deadline.
