Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has ruled out a summer signing for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
Despite persistent injuries to Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus, Arteta confirmed the Gunners are not in the market for the Nigerian.
Victor Osimhen is also reportedly a target for Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
There has also been talk of a possible transfer of the striker to Saudi Arabia.
However, Arteta has stated that Arsenal are not looking to bring Osimhen to the Emirates this summer.

“We have great strikers. Gabi (Gabriel) Jesus is here, Kai (Havertz) has played a lot of minutes there, Leo (Leandro Trossard) has played there and we believe we have everything we need,” Arteta said, as reported by Goal.com.
“We have full confidence in our players. We want to improve, for sure, and we will try, but we will try with the players who are already with us.”
Osimhen signed a new contract with Napoli in December, which includes a release clause set at 130 million euros.
