Can ‘He’ help Arsenal win the Premier League?
Arsenal might be on the verge of a game-changing signing that could finally dethrone Manchester City and deliver Premier League glory.
The Gunners’ pursuit of Premier League glory might be about to take a dramatic turn, with reports suggesting they are reigniting their interest in Napoli’s prolific striker, Victor Osimhen. The potential £85 million move could be the blockbuster signing that finally propels the Gunners to the top, ending Manchester City’s stranglehold on English football.
Having come close but ultimately falling short in their title bids over the past two seasons, Arsenal knows that something extra is needed to bridge the gap to Pep Guardiola’s dominant side.

Victor Osimhen likely to reject Chelsea, awaits PSG decision
So far, Mikel Arteta’s only significant addition has been Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna, a solid but not groundbreaking signing. But if the Gunners can secure Osimhen, it would be a statement of intent—a clear signal that Arsenal is serious about winning the Premier League this season.
Osimhen’s track record speaks for itself. The Nigerian forward was a key figure in Napoli’s Serie A title-winning campaign last season, where he scored 31 goals in all competitions.
His blend of pace, power, and clinical finishing would add a new dimension to Arsenal’s attack, which has at times lacked the cutting edge needed to challenge City. With Gabriel Jesus struggling for consistency and Eddie Nketiah potentially on the move, Osimhen could be the world-class striker Arsenal desperately needs.
Moreover, Osimhen’s arrival would allow Arteta to deploy Kai Havertz in his natural attacking midfield role, where his vision and creativity can shine without the burden of leading the line. Pairing Osimhen with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and Gabriel Martinelli could create one of the most feared attacking units in the league.
But the real question is, could Osimhen be the final piece of the puzzle that turns Arsenal from title contenders into title winners? With Manchester City showing no signs of slowing down, Arsenal needs a game-changer. Osimhen could be just that—a player capable of delivering in the biggest moments and firing the Gunners back to the summit of English football.
