Arsenal are reluctant to spend over the odds to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer, according to CalcioNapoli24.
The north London giants are eyeing a marquee centre-forward and Osimhen has emerged as one of their top transfer targets.
However, the club have no desire to trigger his €120m release clause, considering his injury record over the years.
Osimhen has been sidelined with short-term injuries in his career and this could hamper his chances of joining Arsenal.
It is now revealed that Mikel Arteta's side have decided to spend a maximum of €75m on Osimhen and won't spend more.
The news could be a potential blow for the striker, considering Napoli are reluctant to lower their demands for his services.
Osimhen has a dream of playing in the Premier League. He may have to force his departure such that Napoli change their stance.
Arsenal are the only club interested in landing Osimhen with Chelsea unlikely to meet his wage requirements, as per reports.
