Premier League side, Arsenal are reportedly preparing to make a second offer for Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, to match the €100m (£86m) price tag, Napoli are asking for the 23-year-old.
This comes after Gunners’ first €60m bid was rejected by the Italian club on Monday, June 13.

“Arsenal are gearing up to enter talks with Napoli for Osimhen and are keen to sign the €100m valued striker. Manchester United are also keen on a move but the Gunners hold the edge for the time being,” the report said.
