Napoli will expect €100m for the player this summer and Arsenal were encouraged by the fact that Osimhen wants to play in England.

However the Serie A side is holding out for their asking price, which could be a big stumbling block for Arsenal who have other targets.

The Gunners have reportedly lined up Roma forward Tammy Abraham and Alvaro Morata who would be available for less.

Napoli are expected to decision over the future of Osimhen when the season come to an end.
