Arsenal walk away from deal after being quoted fee in excess of €100m for 23-year-old Reports

Arsenal reportedly priced out of move for Serie A superstar have reportedly given up on trying to sign forward Victor Osimhen due to the high price tag set by the club. The 23-year-old has become one of Europe's most sought-after strikers following a successful season in Naples, where he scored 18 goals in 32 appearances. I Partenopei signed the Nigerian international for £67.5 million in 2020 from Lille and has gone from strength-to-strength ever since. Bayern Munich is monitoring the situation of Victor Osimhen.

Corriere del Mezzogiorno reported via that the Gunners had checked the feasibility for Osimhen when they were in the box seat to finish in the top four. However, Arteta's men eventually faded away and were beaten to a Champions League spot by north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The report claims that Napoli will only consider offers between €110-€120 million for the young forward, which has put the Premier League side off from pursuing his signature. Arsenal will instead now turn their attention to Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus, who has just a year left on his current deal at the Etihad Stadium.

Gabriel Jesus drops Manchester City transfer hint amid Arsenal rumours

Gabriel Jesus enjoyed a successful season for the Cityzens where he netted 13 times in 41 appearances. But his game time will surely be restricted from next season due to the imminent arrival of Norwegian hitman forward Erling Haaland and Argentine wonderkid Julian Alvarez. Jesus has been strongly linked with a move to Premier league rivals Arsenal. He told reporters following his goal in Brazil's 5-1 victory over South Korea (as quoted by ): "I’m looking to see what’s best for me and above all, for my career. From Tuesday, we’ll see what is the best." Mikel Arteta will be desperate for a new centre-forward this summer following the Gunners' announcement that Alexandre Lacazette will be leaving the Emirates Stadium on a free transfer. Fellow forward Eddie Nketiah is yet to sign a new deal. Jesus worked with Arteta during the Spaniard's time at Manchester City while he was part of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff. The Brazilian would have to face the prospect of playing Europa League football if he did complete the move to north London. According to , Arsenal are willing to offer Jesus nearly £200,000 per week, which is nearly double what he is currently earning at the English champions. Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal is at a very advanced stage. The deal could be announced as early as next week.
