Journalist Ben Jacobs claims that Andrea Berta has the “agreement” to take over as Arsenal’s new sporting director. In light of Mikel Arteta’s position on Kai Havertz, a report in Nigeria has disclosed the amount that Arsenal is willing to pay for Victor Osimhen, whom they have agreed to sign during the summer transfer window.
Osimhen, who is thriving at Galatasaray this season, is among the world’s greatest and most deadly strikers. The Serie A team intends to permanently let go of the 26-year-old during the summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk. His contract with Napoli runs until 2026.
Osimhen is open to moving to Old Trafford, and TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent Rudy Galetti has been informed by sources that Manchester United is vying for his services. Last month, the Nigerian media reported that the Gunners had contacted Osimhen’s camp. Now, it is said that the North London club has reached an agreement to acquire the great player.
Arsenal agree £62m deal for world-class striker
Arsenal is now in second place in the Premier League standings ahead of the pivotal run-in, and Arteta’s team has had a respectable season. To put the Gunners back in the running for the championship, though, Premier League leaders Liverpool would need to collapse spectacularly. Arsenal will have ended as the Premier League’s runners-up for the third consecutive season if they place second, as predicted.
They tried to sign a new striker in the January transfer window after supporters, commentators, and club legends had pushed them to do so in past windows, but they were unable to finalize a deal.
However, the Daily Trust reports that Arsenal “has begun the signing process to bring Victor Osimhen to the Emirates Stadium” and that a £62 million transfer “has been agreed upon,” suggesting that Berta’s influence may already be felt.
