January transfer window is closing today in England and there will be some last-minute signings, but there probably won‘t be any „exclusives“ like on the last day of September. And that goes for Arsenal too. It is obvious that the Gunners could use another good striker which would increase their title race against Liverpool and Manchester City, but all good players are too expensive in January. On the other hand, it‘s not only clubs like Everton or Nottingham Forest who are in fear of breaking FFP rules, almost whole league has that in mind and so are Edu and Mikel Arteta. So, players who have been mentioned recently like Ivan Toney, Bournemouth ace Dominic Solanke or Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins are all „unavailable“ until June 2024. De Laurentiis admits defeat: “Osimhen is leaving in June”But, if you ask the fans, striker like Victor Osimhen appeals much more. The Nigerian is a „killer“ and he all but guarantees goals. But there is one ex Arsenal player who is not so impressed with Napoli striker. Or to put it in another words, he is great, but wouldn‘t be so useful with the Gunners. “Osimhen, also a top player. Maybe a little bit more pragmatic in front of goal than Gabriel Jesus. I don’t think he’d necessarily be an upgrade. He’s a different type of player than Jesus. Osimhen doesn’t drift as wide as Jesus. You always want your No. 9 to score as many goals as possible but he’s Gabriel Jesus contributing to Arsenal’s attack in different ways. His movement, dragging defenders out of position and he’s making a lot of runs behind, stretching the block. He’s a key player for Arsenal’s success” said Mikael Silvestre. Former Gunners center back is clearly looking at Arsenal‘s attacking options and how a potential striker could help his former team. And from that angle, he does have a point. Or not?##NAJAVA_MECA_7838683##
