Previously Arsenal expressed their intentions to buy Osimhen with a deep void being left behind for the Gunner after the duo of Lacazette-Aubameyang left the London Reds. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left for Barcelona last winter and with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah on the way out of the club in the summer, Arsenal too needs fast replacements in their forward lineup.
In between Manchester United and Newcastle United, the former can offer Europan football to Osimhen in terms of the UEFA Europa League. The Red Devils have had a disappointing season where they failed to achieve the top 4 and thus will not take part in the UEFA Champions League in the coming season.
