“I spoke with Arsene Wenger after the tournament (Under-17 World Cup) ended and he wanted me to come to Arsenal,” Osimhen told the Independent back in 2020.
“I had a lot of options. Barcelona; Inter Milan; Atletico Madrid; Juventus and the rest. Arsenal was a good option but it wasn’t the best at the time. I wanted to start playing as soon as I turned 18.
"I wanted to go to a place where I had time to invest in my game and improve physically. Wolfsburg showed me that possibility.”
“Of course, one day I’d like to play for a big club in England... my priority is to play a lot of games. Signing for a big club and being on the bench is not exciting for me.”
Arsenal will soon be in need of a striker, with Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette's contracts both expiring come the end of the season and the Gunners may end up reviving their interest in Osimhen if he continues his current career trajectory.
The Nigerian frontman will have three years left on his Napoli contract next summer.
