Napoli striker and Arsenal target Victor Osimhen says he’s already made a decision on his next step this summer.

There’s plenty of transfer speculation surrounding Victor Osimhen at the moment, but the player himself says he’s already decided what he’s going to do this summer.

“At the end of the season, I’ve already made up my mind, I already know what I want to do with my career,” Osimhen said.

“Since I started, I’ve been the one taking my own decisions and everything is working out well for me.

“I already know the next step that I want to take, so for now, I just want to finish the season strong.

“[Then] go and relax somewhere with my daughter, think about my life, and then finally come out with the decision I’ve already made.”

Osimhen is currently focusing on the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria, and he’s signed a contract extension with club side Napoli, but the striker recently admitted he’s open to a Premier League move.

Speaking to the media last week, Osimhen answered a question about whether he wants to play in the English top tier.

“Of course one day, definitely,” the centre-forward responded. “But for now, I have other plans in my career that I am looking forward to.

“So when the time comes, everyone knows.”

Arsenal look set to compete with Chelsea for the signing of Osimhen in the summer transfer window.

Fabrizio Romano is one of those to confirm that Arsenal are interested in the striker, and Charles Watts reported in May 2022 that Arsenal had held talks with Osimhen’s agent.

The agent flew into London for a meeting with Edu Gaspar, but at the time, Napoli weren’t willing to sell, and Arsenal turned to Gabriel Jesus instead. Things could be different this summer.
