Arsenal targets Victor Osimhen amid Gabriel Martinelli transfer rumors
Arsenal is reportedly exploring a transfer for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen following difficulties in securing Julián Álvarez. Discussions between Arsenal and Galatasaray may involve a complex deal that could include Arsenal forwards Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri. While Osimhen has not ruled out a move to the Premier League, Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek has stated the club will not accept offers that are detrimental to the team's interests.
Separately, Gabriel Martinelli has been linked with moves to Napoli and Roma. Martinelli reportedly rejected a €45 million bid from Galatasaray, expressing no desire to move to the Turkish league. Napoli has initiated contact with Arsenal regarding the Brazilian winger, though his high wages present a significant financial hurdle for the Italian club.
On the pitch, Victor Osimhen scored twice in Galatasaray's 2-2 draw against newly promoted Çorum FK. Following the match, Osimhen described the result as a ‘wake-up call’ for the squad and apologized to fans for the disappointing performance.
