Arsenal are working hard to bring in further reinforcements ahead of the start of the 2024/25 Premier League season.
Mikel Arteta's side have already been fairly active. They first secured the permanent signing of Spanish goalkeeper David Raya, who had been on loan since last summer. The Gunners have also signed Euro 2024 standout Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna.
The Gunners are not expected to stop there, with a midfielder and a high-profile striker among their targets for the remainder of the summer transfer window.
While PSG and Chelsea appear to be frontrunners in the race to acquire Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, it seems that Arsenal are not prepared to go down without fighting.
According to Football Insider , the Gunners are still keeping an eye on his situation and plan to hijack Chelsea's move for the Nigerian international, albeit signing him won't come cheap.
Osimhen has long been on the radar of Mikel Arteta and his team, but there are still hurdles to overcome. The player's preferences regarding any potential transfer will be a significant factor, and the growing competition adds another layer of complexity.

Chelsea is reportedly exploring a swap deal that would involve Romelu Lukaku going in the other direction on permanent-basis , while Osimhen will head to Stamford Bridge on a loan with an obligation to buy next summer.
PSG is also in the mix, but a deal currently seems financially daunting. The 25-year-old has two years left on his contract with Napoli, making his future a topic of keen interest as the transfer window progresses.
