Arsenal have been told they will get 'no change out of £80million' if they are to go after Napoli's Victor Osimhen.
With Alexandre Lacazette leaving the club on a free transfer at the end of the month, the Gunners will be looking to bring in a senior replacement to fire them back into the top four and secure UEFA Champions League football. A host of strikers, from Benfica's Darwin Nunez to Roma's Tammy Abraham, has been linked with a summer move to the Emirates Stadium.
And Osimhen, a long-term target for Arsenal, has again been touted with a big-money move when the window opens on Friday. Former Gunner Kevin Campbell believes that Mikel Arteta and Edu will have to break the bank to secure the Nigerian international, costing upwards of £80m.

"He will cost Arsenal at least £80million," Campbell told Football Insider. "Let's be honest, he's not done himself any harm scoring the goals he did last season. He has played brilliantly. Osimhen is lightning quick and can hold the ball up but can head it as well. He attacks the ball pretty well.
"A striker like that, an all-rounder, is going to be expensive. Tammy Abraham and Osimhen have similar qualities. You can see the kind of player Arsenal are going for. You're going to get no change out of £80million if you go for Osimhen."
Osimhen enjoyed a fruitful season in Serie A, scoring 14 goals in 27 league appearances, which has led to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as the Gunners, being touted as a potential destination for the 23-year-old.
