Esteemed football transfer authority Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed that Napoli’s forward, Victor Osimhen, is poised to switch to either Arsenal or Chelsea in the upcoming Premier League summer transfer window. This update emerges despite considerable interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
Osimhen, the Nigerian forward, recently extended his commitment to Napoli by signing a contract extension until 2026, featuring a buyout clause of 130 million euros.
Paris Saint-Germain views Osimhen as a potential successor to Kylian Mbappé, who seems set to depart the club.

Having previously played in Ligue 1 with Lille, where he amassed 13 goals in 27 appearances during the 2019-2020 season, Osimhen is reportedly leaning towards a move to either Chelsea or Arsenal, as indicated by Di Marzio. This preference contrasts with a potential return to the French league.
Despite PSG’s strong candidacy due to their established ties with Napoli, Osimhen’s focus lies on a potential transfer to the Premier League, where he seeks to showcase his talents on a fresh stage.
Di Marzio remarked, “I’m not entirely convinced Osimhen will join PSG. He has already experienced French football with Lille, and while PSG offers a different caliber, including the chance to compete in matches like the Champions League semi-final, his preference has always been England.” He added, “Chelsea and Arsenal are two clubs that could secure Osimhen’s signature.”
