Arsenal fail to agree terms with Chelsea and PSG target - Reports
Arsenal have reportedly failed to agree terms with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) target Victor Osimhen. As reported by PSG Talk, the Gunners were ready to make a push to sign the Napoli attacker but the Nigeria international already has an agreement with PSG.
As per the aforementioned report, the 25-year-old has already agreed personal terms with Les Parisiens. The French champions are understood to have offered the striker a much more lucrative package than Arsenal.
Osimhen's future has been up in the air for a few weeks now and it looks increasingly likely he won't remain at Napoli beyond the summer. Chelsea have also been heavily linked with a move for the former Lille man.
PSG Talk claims Osimhen would be open to a move to Chelsea if they can agree upon a deal with PSG. However, Arsenal's attempts to secure the striker's signature have ended in disappointment.
Osimhen is regarded as one of the deadliest strikers in world football at the moment. Since his switch to Napoli from Lille in 2020 in a deal potentially worth €80 million with add-ons, he has contributed 76 goals and 18 assists in 133 games across competitions for the Serie A giants.
Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham handed major boost in pursuit of Bundesliga attacker: Reports
Borussia Dortmund striker Youssoufa Moukoko is reportedly keen on an exit from Signal Iduna Park this summer. The Germany international has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur in recent months.
Moukoko emerged as one of the brightest prospects in world football when he debuted for Dortmund as a 16-year-old in November 2020. However, he has not quite been able to live up to his initial promise.
At just 19 years of age, he still has plenty of time to turn his career around. As claimed by his agent Patrick Williams, the German sensation is believed to be looking to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer.
Williams said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano via Football London:
“Youssoufa has a huge potential, which, unfortunately, he couldn‘t show last season. I think the fact that he scored five goals in 613 minutes says everything about his quality. Few players in the Bundesliga have such a rate."
“It's not a secret that there are enough clubs out here who believe in Youssoufa's qualities and want him in their team. I say BVB is making a mistake in giving Youssoufa away. With so little playing time, everyone will know that Youssoufa's market value will be low, and Dortmund can't expect much. We wanted it to be different, but that's the football business. Youssoufa is totally clear in his mind, extremely focused and knows what he wants to drive his career forward. Now we are sounding out interest from England, Spain and France," he added.
Moukoko has scored 18 goals and provided eight assists in 99 senior appearances for Borussia Dortmund. He scored 142 goals and produced 27 assists in 90 appearances for the BVB across various age groups.
