Victor Osimhen transfer: Arsenal are working on an ambitious late move
We're approaching the end of the January window now, but it looks like Arsenal may still have a surprise in store.
Football Insider reports that the north London giants have made initial contact, although it is not yet clear whether a deal could be reached midway through the season.
Arsenal fans will certainly be desperate to see such a big name heading to the Emirates Stadium, with Osimhen looking like a much-needed upgrade over Kai Havertz.
