Here are three key reasons that could influence a move to either Man United or Arsenal for Victor Osimhen ahead of a speculated transfer away from Napoli at the end of the season.
Questions about Victor Osimhen's future in the 2024/2025 season of club football have continued to take center stage in recent transfer talks as the season slowly comes to an end and here is why we think that one of the greatest strikers out in Africa might be in the Premier League next season with either Arsenal or Man United.
Regardless of the confirmation of a contract extension with Napoli, speculations of a possible move for Victor Osimhen out of Italy during the June 2-24 transfer window has become a hot topic as the Nigerian international has been categorized as one of the most sought-after forwards in 2024.
Interests from top clubs across Europe such as Man United, Arsenal, PSG and Chelsea have continued to dominate the news headlines even before the transfer window opens officially.
Although fans are eagerly anticipating a future move to Chelsea, we initially highlighted why Stamford Bridge is not the next destination for the ambitious forward who has expressed his desire as well as admiration for the Premier League. Ruling Chelsea out of the option automatically leaves two clubs in England who have shown interest in signing the Nigerian forward, Manchester United and Arsenal.
Why Victor Osimhen might move to either Arsenal or Man United
Ambitious clubs
Both Arsenal and Man United have been identified with the results for the 2023/2024 season as well as plans highlighted that winning trophies remain key in their club history and continuous development. The purchase of Man United shares by Sir Jim Ratcliffe is a clear indication of the direction of the Red Devils going into the 2024/2025 season as the business mogul has confirmed that there would be a massive overhaul in the forthcoming season at the club. Arsenal as well as their title race this season have shown their status as one of the biggest clubs in England once again.
For a player like Victor Osimhen who we would like to classify as a one-of-a-kind phenomenon to come out of Africa playing on the biggest of football stages with a club whose ambition matches his as well is a must which is why it is a no-brainer for him to make his way to either Man United or Arsenal if he is looking to make a move in the January transfer window.
Guaranteed top-flight football (UEFA)
Man United and Arsenal are both guaranteed to play in Europe in the 2024/2025 season as things stand on the log, for a player like Victor Osimhen who finished in the top 10 of the Ballon d'Or ranking, a club that is guaranteed to play in all club competitions is the best way to show his quality for the big stage.
His desire and ambition can only be matched if the stage is set and all is perfectly poised in his favour and that is what these two clubs offer. The option of PSG is also open in this instance but the competition in the league is what many have categorized as non-existent.
A team with a clear-cut ideology and experience
A team with a clear-cut ideology and vast experience is what both Man United and Arsenal possess in different areas, both head coaches have an idea of what is expected of them and as such the teams are often set up to meet this requirement.
Arsenal takes the top position in this instance with Man United also indicating that if the club's direction is lost they have no issues in bringing in an alternative to foot the bill. Teams like these are where top stars like Victor Osimhen thrive.
