Arsenal are favourites ahead of Chelsea to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Gunners are on the hunt for a marquee striker this summer and they have been linked with multiple names over the past few months.
Osimhen has been one of those and Di Marzio claims that the club have the upper hand over the Blues who can't meet his wage demands.
The Nigerian signed a new long-term contract worth £220,000 per week last year and the Blues can't afford to meet his current salary.
The west London giants have set a salary cap of around £150,000 per week for new signings and they are unlikely to pursue Osimhen.
This has put the Gunners in pole position to land his services, though they are undecided whether to make a formal approach for him.
Mikel Arteta's side are also interested in Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and they are expected to decide between the two in the coming weeks.
