Arsenal not out of the race to sign Victor Osimhen

Arsenal remain in the race to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer, according to La Stampa in Italy.

The Gunners have been tipped to land a marquee centre-forward, but they are yet to make any formal transfer bids.

Osimhen is one of those who has been linked with them and La Stampa claim that a transfer can't be entirely ruled out.

PSG and Arsenal seem ready to meet the financial demands of Napoli, but the former have a distinct advantage for now.

The French champions are prepared to pay a higher salary that what the Gunners have proposed for the Nigerian star.

This could hamper the Gunners' prospects of landing his signature ahead of Luis Enrique's side in the coming weeks.

Napoli manager Antonio Conte wants a quick resolution over Osimhen's future ahead of the new Serie A campaign.

He has identified Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku as the ideal replacement for Osimhen, who has no desire to stay in Naples.
