I think he fits the profile of what we need. Not seen much of him but reading about him and watching clips he fits the striker role in our 4-2-3-1 perfectly.

Stronger than david and isak, more mobile than toney. Would be between him and DCL for me.

Exactly he's the best of what we're left with and could blossom into a top tier striker in the next 2 years as he becomes 25 years old.

Yes its strong money at around £60m but if he kicks on he'll be worth that anyway.

When bidding for strikers you have no choice but to be aggressive, otherwise you simply get left in the cold, good strikers are not numerous and we've had to narrow our search for a profile of CF to suit Arteta who has become literally a cheque book manager.

From what I'm seeing its this or we're screwed.

Watching him vs. Barca

Timing of his runs is absolutely atrocious. Literally just sprints in a straight line not even bothering to look across or angle his runs. Has been caught offside 4 times.

Not impressed one bit from first 45 minutes watching him

Arsenal have joined the race to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen - according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Newcastle, Manchester United and Tottenham have also been linked with the 23-year-old, who is currently valued at around €100 million (£84m/$110m).

Osimhen has emerged on Arsenal's radar as they seek a long-term replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who left the club in January before joining Barcelona on a free transfer.

Way too expensive for his quality.

Yep at £80m plus it’s a hard pass.

Arsenal have "come forward" with an offer for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, according to Area Napoli.

Osimhen has hugely impressed in Serie A with 16 goals with 26 games this season, while Arsenal need a striker following the sale of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the imminent departure of Alexandre Lacazette.

However while Osimhen is reported to be "flattered" by Arsenal's interest, he is keen to play Champions League football - something currently not guaranteed by the Gunners.

He still needs a bit of work but he's got all the core ingredients for a CF target man.

So in that light he's good for Arteta's formation because that's what we're forced to need.

Completely different to Jesus though so not sure how that's going to work out unless he's considering putting Jesus out wide or as someone who can play both roles?

Slightly smaller lukaku with a bit more pace sums him up, hes not prolific even in the Italian and French farmers leagues but hes still much better than the shit we have.

Considering the £££ it would take to bring him here, this is a no go.
