Victor Osimhen finished last season for Galatasaray with 41 goals and 10 assists in 52 games. At Napoli, he was considered one of the sharpest strikers on the market, nothing indicates that the 27-year-old has lost his edge at the Turkish Champions League club. Now there are two Premier League clubs in particular that are fighting to bring the Nigerian superstar to the ball island.
The Nigerian international striker has extreme skills in front of the opponents’ goal. Although there has been a “tapering” to Turkish football, Osimhen is in his prime (27) and is considered one of the best. 59 goals in 74 games in the Galatasaray shirt says a lot.

Several Premier League clubs have tried to get Osimhen to the ball island, where Chelsea were the closest. Earlier this month, it was reported that Tottenham are in the running to secure a real X-factor in attack, the final Harry Kane replacement.
Roberto de Zerbi needs an explosive, “aggressive” number 9, which is a natural point at the top of his possession system. Tottenham have received sporting approval to start formal negotiations, and believe that personal terms will not create a major obstacle, Caughtoffside’s sources reported.
This week, The Telegraph reports that Arsenal are in a position to play the 2026/27 season with Osimhen at the top. The reigning Premier League champions are already in talks with Galatasaray, with the Turks having shown keen interest in signing Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri. The Süper Lig club are said to have made a bid of £38.4 million for Martinelli in talks with Arsenal’s sporting director Andrea Berta, now it is open to making Osimhen part of the deal.
