'20 to 25 goals' — Arsenal legend explains why Arteta must sign Osimhen

Arsenal's need for an elite goalscorer is well-documented and club manager Mikel Arteta has been advised to sign Victor Osimhen.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have struggled to keep up with Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, and there are several reasons why.

The primary reason, however, is the lack of clinical goalscoring.

Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus 9who is now injured), are not bad players, but they lack the killer mentality in front goal.

Why Arsenal must move for Victor Osimhen

According to reports, Arteta is eager to solve this problem and is interested in Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, Newcastle's Alexander Iak, and Napoli-owned Victor Osimhen.

All three strikers have shown a knack for goal, with Osimhen proving to be the most consistent at every level.

Arsenal legend, Nigel Winterburn has urged manager Mikel Arteta to pursue the Nigerian striker in January.

“Victor Osimhen has been heavily linked with Arsenal, as have the likes of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko and Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic,” Winterburn told William Hill Vegas.“

"If you could guarantee Mikel Arteta that one of them can offer 20 to 25 goals a season, that would be great — but no one can guarantee that!

“The Gunners need a striker to take them to the next level, and that is to win the Premier League.

I would take any of those strikers — it doesn’t matter which one. What matters is who scores the most goals for this team and is the best fit."
