Shaka Hislop Urges Mikel Arteta to Make Victor Osimhen Top Summer Transfer Target

Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop has urged Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to prioritize signing Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen this summer.

Hislop believes Osimhen is exactly what Arsenal needs.

Osimhen is widely expected to leave Napoli during the summer transfer window, with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain all showing interest.

In an interview with ESPN FC, Hislop said:

“He ticks all the boxes that Arsenal need. He provides the physicality, if not a little bit more than Kai Havertz does in terms of height and set pieces.

“He provides the finishing that Gabriel Jesus promised but hasn’t delivered in the past couple of seasons.

“If I am Mikel Arteta, I am making Osimhen my number one target and then we see who else we can sell and replace and where else we can strengthen in the squad.

“But without question, the first order of business is that style of finisher and I think Osimhen ticks all the boxes that Arsenal need.”
