Oh No! Fabrizio Romano says £55m striker Arsenal held talks with is about to move elsewhere

Fabrizio Romano says £55m striker Arsenal held talks with is about to move elsewhere
Arsenal have opened up their Premier League account with two wins from two.
The Gunners were 2-0 victors away at Aston Villa on the weekend with Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey netting the goals.
Only Manchester City, Brighton and Liverpool have kept their 100 per cent record intact heading into match week three.
It was a close-fought encounter at Villa Park and one that could’ve easily swung the other way had it not been for David Raya’s unbelievable double save.
Speaking post-match, Mikel Arteta admitted his side are a little short and could still bring in new additions before the window slams shut on Friday.
However, they look set to miss out on a rumoured target.
Arsenal set to miss out on Victor Osimhen
Arsenal have been linked to Napoli’s Victor Osimhen for most of the summer transfer window as they look to bring in a specialist number nine.
Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in Osimhen but Al Ahli are now close to agreeing a £55m with Napoli, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
The Nigeria international still needs to agree on personal terms with the Saudi Pro League side - so there is scope for an 11th-hour hijack.
TBR reported earlier this month that Osimhen prefers a move to Paris Saint-Germain, though, the Ligue 1 giants appear to have ended their interest.
Arsenal are crying out for a number nine this summer and it’s perhaps the only area of the squad where they look light.
Osimhen would be a real statement signing and one that could fire them to their first Premier League title since 2004.
So, they really should consider matching Al-Ahli’s £55m bid - which seems like a fair price for the 25-year-old.
