Former France international and legendary defender, William Gallas has expressed his strong belief that Arsenal should seriously consider signing Victor Osimhen in the upcoming transfer window.
Currently, Victor Osimhen is on a season-long loan with Turkish club Galatasaray, having moved there from Serie A giants Napoli.
The 25-year-old Nigerian striker has been making quite an impression, demonstrating his goal-scoring prowess throughout his career.
To date, he has netted an impressive total of 122 goals in 232 appearances across all competitions. This season alone, he has already scored eight goals in just nine matches for Galatasaray, showcasing his ability to perform at a high level.
With growing speculation surrounding Osimhen’s future and the likelihood that he will exit Napoli by next summer, Gallas is keen for Arsenal to pursue him as a key target in January.
William Gallas said, “If I could sign one player for Arsenal in January, it would be a world-class striker, but they are not readily available in January.” He further added, “Currently, there are no top-tier strikers on the market.”
Gallas particularly highlighted Osimhen’s situation, pointing out the footballer’s current loan spell at Galatasaray, saying, “I wanted to speak about Osimhen because I know he’s at Galatasaray, and I still don’t understand why he’s there.”
His remarks underline his belief in Osimhen’s potential and value, suggesting that a move to Arsenal could be beneficial for both the player and the Premier League club.
