He won 2 Premier League titles, including the 2003/04 Invincibles and two FA Cups.

Why Arsenal can't sign Osimhen

Legit.ng reported on why Arsenal can't sign Victor Osimhen despite having concrete interest in recruiting the Nigerian forward to help their goalscoring problems.

The Gunners and London rivals Chelsea were interested but withdrew from the race as Napoli were unwilling to lower the player's £113 million release clause.
