Arsenal have made a bid for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Osimhen is currently plying his trade in Serie A with Napoli, where he has scored 28 and assisted nine in 62 outings to date.<\/p>\n

18 of those goals came in 32 outings across all competitions this past term \u2013 a solid record and one much better than any of Arsenal\u2019s current striker options.<\/p>\n

As a result, it was not too surprising to see the Nigerian linked with the Gunners over the last few weeks.<\/p>\n

Now, as per reports<\/a> stemming from Italy, Arsenal have made an opening bid of around \u00a351.2m for Victor Osimhen.<\/p>\n

It is claimed that Napoli immediately rejected the offer as they hold out for nearly double that amount.<\/p>\n

This backs up previous reports from Gianluca Di Marzio, who stated that any potential suitor will need to offer around \u20ac100m to land Osimhen:<\/p>\n

.@DiMarzio<\/a>: \u201dAny offer for Osimhen must be exceptional, around \u20ac100M. And so far Arsenal and Bayern haven\u2019t reached \u20ac85\/90, it will be necessary to see if an offer will come from these clubs that will make Napoli stagger. Broja is a potential replacement\u201d [Via @Napoli_Report<\/a>]<\/p>\n
