The weekend off for Arsenal after their match against Nottingham Forest is a rare opportunity. With the FA Cup action starting, Mikel Arteta’s team will have time to regroup and get ready for their Champions League matchup against PSV Eindhoven. In order to gain momentum for the season’s last stretch, it will also give them some time to think.
The transfer window is already drawing attention, and following a slow January, it seems like pressure is mounting for the summer. With a busy few months ahead of them, the north Londoners could need to set up shop, but a forward is still needed.
When the summer transfer window opens, Arsenal will be looking to add a striker once more, but they may already be facing further challenges. Victor Osimhen was linked to the Gunners last summer before the Nigerian forward moved on loan from Napoli to Galasaray.
Victor Osimhen drops transfer hint
Although Osimhen’s future will have to be decided in the upcoming months, the 26-year-old has made no secret of his time in Turkey. The gunman, however, refrained from making a firm decision.
“I honestly don’t know,” Osimhen remarked. “You know, the last few months, nobody ever thought I would come here. I never believed I would come to Galatasaray despite how big they are.” I am a momentary person. I’m not sure what the summer holds, but I want everyone to know how much I adore this group. I adore the supporters, the president, and every individual connected to the team. I’m having a great time here, and it’s quite significant to be here.”
Given that Mikel Arteta was sorely lacking in the second half of the season, Arsenal is anticipated to spend heavily this summer on a new striker.
