Arsenal will rival Chelsea for Napoli star Osimhen

Premier League giants Arsenal will compete with Chelsea to sign a Nigerian centre forward this summer.

The two English clubs are going head to head to secure Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

Per Italian outlet La Repubblica, both clubs see Osimhen has their long-term no.9.

Arsenal want a player who is more clinical and powerful than Gabriel Jesus or Eddie Nketiah.

Chelsea are also seeking more firepower, with the likes of Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja their only center forwards.

Any club that wants to sign Osimhen in the summer will have to match the striker's €130 million buy-out clause.
