Victor Osimhen rejects Arsenal offer: Will the London club continue to chase him?

Victor Osimhen has been one of Arsenal's top targets for the past several years, with interest from the London club intensifying in the last summer market and now moving into the current summer market, but there seems to be one final obstacle in Arsenal's way.

Victor Osimhen's relationship with Napoli management has reached a dead end, and the young Nigerian has been clear about his future: he doesn't want to play for the Italian side again and wants to try something else for the rest of his career.

Victor Osimhen has turned down a move to Arsenal

According to press reports, the 26-year-old striker has halted any current negotiations with Manchester United or Arsenal, but has certainly kept negotiations open for the future. But for the moment he is still being tracked by Chelsea, who have qualified for the Champions League next season and have all the means to sign Victor Osimhen for next season.

Before rejecting Arsenal's offer, the Nigerian striker also turned down a huge offer from Saudi Arabia's World Cup giants, Al Hilal.

Mikel Arteta wants to complete his attacking system with a No. 9 box-to-box striker, as the Spaniard believes that all the system he has is already lacking is a quality No. 9 striker to complete the search for titles.

That's why, despite the news that Victor Osimhen has already turned down Arsenal's latest offer, he remains an option on the table for the Gunners.
