Victor Osimhen ‘transfer meeting’ takes place amid Arsenal and Chelsea interest

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen

Napoli are believed to be preparing for life after Victor Osimhen after identifying two striker targets who could replace the Nigerian forward.

Arsenal have been heavily linked with recruiting Osimhen, along with Premier League rivals Chelsea, and it has been suggested Mikel Arteta’s men have gone as far as to lodge an offer worth £72m for his services.

A separate report from Italy has explained Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has flown to France for a meeting with Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, in an attempt to convince him to stump up €120 million for the forward.

Drawing up plans for the following Serie A season without their talisman in the side, Napoli are understood to have identified Romelu Lukaku and Girona’s Artem Dovbyk as potential replacements.

Lukaku is an obvious choice for new Napoli boss Antonio Conte, having brought the best out of the Belgian at Inter during their 2020/21 title-winning campaign. Dovbyk enjoyed a successful season of his own last term, scoring 24 times in 36 La Liga appearances to secure Champions League football.
