Victor Osimhen's agent has contacted Arsenal after Chelsea snub

The representative of Victor Osimhen has made contact with Arsenal after ending negotiations with Chelsea, according to Il Roma.

The Nigerian star is determined to leave Napoli in the current transfer window, but no clubs are willing to meet the reported price tag.

Napoli want his €130m release clause to be paid in full and as things stand, there are no European teams prepared to do so this summer.

Chelsea were touted to sign him earlier this year, but the Blues are no longer in the mix due to the price tag and huge salary demands.

Arsenal are capable of meeting the wage requirements, but they are also reluctant to pay the buy-out clause demanded by Napoli.

Osimhen's agent has made contact with Arsenal this week, but the Gunners are not planning to make a formal proposal as of now.

They are prepared to play the waiting game to find out whether Napoli are willing to change their resolve on the transfer valuation.
