Report: Arsenal is set to sign a ‘dangerous’ forward following the decision that Victor Osimhen’s price is too high…

Arsenal has made the decision to look for a new striker as they find Victor Osimhen’s cost to be excessive.

Arsenal is anticipated to abandon their pursuit of Victor Osimhen and will shift their focus to acquiring a ‘lethal’ striker, as per a recent report.

Mikel Arteta’s team was in dire need of a prolific number nine to spearhead their attack last season while contending for the Premier League championship.

Ultimately falling just two points short of champions Manchester City, the pressure is now on to surpass their previous performance in the upcoming season.

It has become increasingly clear that they require a high-caliber striker, and a recent report has provided new information on their search.

Arsenal is shifting their focus to Viktor Gyokeres after deeming Victor Osimhen too expensive, as reported by Corriere dello Sport via The Standard.

Gyokeres, from Sporting, is seen as a more affordable option among the forwards being considered.

The 26-year-old player has a release clause of £85m, however, it is anticipated that he will be attainable for a price lower than that amount.

TBR disclosed in the previous month that Arsenal was willing to offer a maximum of £60m for the ‘lethal’ striker, who scored 43 goals and provided 15 assists in the last season..

Viktor Gyokeres’ statistics on FBref are truly remarkable, showcasing why he would be an ideal addition to Arteta’s team in the race for the title.

His performance places him in the top one percent for progressive carries and successful take-ons per 90 when compared to players in similar positions across Europe.

Additionally, he ranks in the top four percent for non-penalty goals and assists, demonstrating the versatility and effectiveness of his playing style.

Beyond his scoring abilities, Gyokeres excels in link-up play, providing ample opportunities for Arsenal’s attacking players if a transfer is finalized.
