*Arsenal Eyes Victor Osimhen in Potential Swap Deal with Gabriel Jesus
*Napoli Aware of Arsenal’s Interest in Osimhen, Demand Fee for Gabriel Jesus Swap
Reports suggest that Arsenal is considering a potential player swap involving 24-year-old Victor Osimhen and Gabriel Jesus next summer.
According to sources like Fichajes, Arsenal is prepared to use Gabriel Jesus as a bargaining chip to persuade Napoli to part ways with Victor Osimhen in the upcoming transfer window.
Arsenal, based in North London and competing in the Premier League, views the Nigerian international as the ideal striker for Manager Mikel Arteta’s system and is exploring the possibility of a swap deal.
Napoli is aware of Arsenal’s intentions and is also scouting for potential replacements should Osimhen decide to leave the Serie A champions.
While Gabriel Jesus is reportedly among the options, Napoli is expected to demand a transfer fee in addition to the Brazilian forward in any potential agreement.
Notably, Napoli was not inclined to sell Osimhen during the summer transfer window, despite interest from clubs like Chelsea, PSG, and Al Hilal. The Serie A giants had set a hefty €200 million price tag and even rejected a similar offer from the Saudi Pro League.
