Arsenal may fail in race to sign Victor Osimhen

Victor Osimhen have been linked with a move from Napoli to Arsenal but the Nigerian attacker is unlikely to move to the Emirates Stadium as it looks more unlikely Arsenal will qualify for Champions League football.

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has been on the serious lookout for a new striker for several months and Osimhen has held talks with the Gunners over the last few weeks.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reported in April that Osimhen was open to joining the Gunners but only if they qualified for the Champions League.

However, the Premier League side are now two points behind Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur in fourth place, with just one game remaining.

Osimhen is not the only Serie A star who would reject the chance to sign with the Gunners if they fail to qualify for Europe’s elite competition.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Paolo Dybala is also unwilling to sign for the Gunners if they don’t snatch a top-four finish this season.
