Former Arsenal youth academy player, Jay Bothroyd, has urged manager Mikel Arteta to sign Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen, this summer.
According to Bothroyd, Osimhen, who currently plays for Napoli, is a strong and fast footballer.
Osimhen has been linked with a move to Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.
“I would say we need a striker. I look at Arsenal now and I see Martinelli, Jesus and Saka. Saka is one of the best wingers in the world, and Jesus, as much as he is good for Arsenal, his best work comes from the wide areas,” Bothroyd told FourFourTwo, via The Boot Room.
“He doesn’t convince me he can score 20 Premier League goals every year. Even at City he didn’t do it. We need an out-and-out goalscorer, for me I would like to see Osimhen come from Napoli, he is strong, he is powerful, good link-up play, he is fast and he has an eye for goal.”
