Victor Osimhen
We won’t pay Napoli £110.8m for Osimhen – Arsenal
Arsenal have made it clear to Napoli that they will not meet Victor Osimhen’s €130 million (£110.8m) release clause.
Mikel Arteta is looking to add a new striker to his squad after narrowly missing out on the Premier League title this season.
It’s understood that RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who scored 14 goals in the Bundesliga this season, is one of the top candidates on Arsenal’s shortlist and is available due to a €65m (£55.2m) release clause.

However, Sky Sports Italy report that although Arsenal rate Osimhen highly, they are unwilling to do a deal due to the high costs involved.
Napoli are willing to sell Osimhen, but the club’s president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, is holding out for a team that will pay the €130m (£110.8m) clause.
The Serie A club has received no concrete proposals so far, and while Saudi Pro League clubs could afford such a high fee, Osimhen is keen on remaining in Europe.
