Italian football agent, Paolo Palermo, says Arsenal has no chance of signing Victor Osimhen this summer. According to him, Chelsea are the favourite to land the Nigerian.
Speaking to TV Play on Twitch, Palermo asserted that Osimhen's comments while away on Africa Cup of Nations duties with Nigeria are a "prelude to a summer farewell."
“I’ve said since he renewed that he was leaving," Palermo continued. "Extending the contract for just one year means having already sold him, otherwise they would renew it for four years. They put the card on the player and also on the player’s contract.
“I think someone has already joined; I think Chelsea. Those who can spend €120-130 million are Chelsea, [Man] City, [Man] United and Liverpool, I don’t think Arsenal. Tottenham could also do it but they have a salary cap of €6-7m, Osimhen already earns €10m.”
The Gunners are expected to make attacking reinforcement in the summer. Osimhen and Ivan Toney have regularly been linked with the club.
