Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has backed Victor Osimhen to give the Gunners a powerful presence in attack if the Nigerian striker moves to the club.
Petit was discussing Arsenal’s attacking options when he identified Osimhen as a potential alternative to Julián Alvarez, with the Napoli forward reportedly valued at around £100m.
According to Petit, in an interview with a British sports journalist and presenter who works with Oddschecker and WhoScored, monitored by PUNCH Online on Friday, Osimhen and Alvarez offer different qualities, but the Nigerian could provide Arsenal with greater physical presence in the final third.
“Next one for Arsenal then is Victor Osimhen at £100 million,” Petit said.
