The Napoli man was on fire during his loan spell at Galatasaray last season, scoring 37 goals in 41 appearances. This prompted Saudi side Al Hilal, to make multiple mouth-watering offers to the 26-year-old, all of which were rejected.

Clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United remain in the market for a top striker, but ex-Gunners man William Gallas has advised Arteta to avoid the Nigerian.

“Victor Osimhen is a top-class striker, but I could see him clashing with Mikel Arteta,” the 47-year-old told Prime Casino.

Instead, the Frenchman revealed two other options that would fit right into the Gunner's style of play.

“Viktor Gyokeres would be a better fit, but Arsenal have to win the Premier League next season, which means they need to sign Alexander Isak.

“Isak is perfect for Arsenal, and they should be going all out to sign him. He would adapt instantly and give them the best chance of winning the title out of any player in the world; they don’t have time to let a striker adapt.”
