Arsenal are willing to part with Takehiro Tomiyasu and Emile Smith Rowe in order to land Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer, according to reports.
Pundits, former players and fans have been urging the Gunners to invest in a top goalscorer for a while now, with some claiming it could be the difference between them winning the Premier League title in the future and missing out.
failed to win the title on with Manchester City beating West Ham 3-1 to secure their fourth consecutive Premier League triumph.
And it now seems to be a priority to bring in a top striker in the summer transfer window with Napoli s Osimhen and RB Leipzig s Benjamin Sesko two of their top targets.
A report in Italy on Monday insists that Osimhen is young and ambitious and dreams of the Premier League with it now very difficult for the Nigeria international to remain at Napoli next season.
It is understood that Arsenal have recently resurfaced as an option with London calling for Osimhen and the Gunners have a few men who don t displease the Serie A side.
Those men are Tomiyasu and Smith Rowe with Arsenal prepared to offer the duo to bring down the cost of any deal for Osimhen.
But Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher doesn t think Arsenal necessarily need a new centre-forward and could instead bring in another goalscorer who plays wide .
I think they [Arsenal] need two players, . They need a left-back and I think they need a great attacker.
Not necessarily a centre-forward. People keep saying they need a goalscorer. Sometimes you can have a goalscorer who plays wide.
[Mohamed] Salah is like that for Liverpool. [Sadio] Mane was like that in the past. I just think they need another top attacking player to go alongside Bukayo Saka.
Then one of the others can fill the other role – Martinelli, Trossard or Havertz. If they got another top attacker, you look at those five or six names, it is pretty tasty.
