Hi Eds,
I've been reading through your previous posts and most of the Osimhen chat refers to Chelsea.
Do Arsenal hold any interest in him at all? I would imagine he would be too expensive, but with Sesko staying put I would imagine that only leaves Toney or Osimhen is really viable options.
Are you aware of any strikers that haven't been discussed on here? Lots of paper chat in recent days about Zirkzee but he looks Milan bound - his numbers aren't that convincing either! Also previous chat of Gyokeres.
Any thoughts or info would be welcome!
{Ed002's Note - Arsenal have a preferred option and see the price as too high for Osimhen. Toney remains the first choice.
Joshua Zirkzee (S) Manchester United had a third-party scout watch him in a game against Roma in December and they decided on Zirkzee as their preferred option but the player was not interested in such a move. Milan has declared an interest knowing Giroud is coming to the end of his contract but don't know if Zirkzee will match his goal tally - and they offer the preferred solution for the player and they now have a tentative agreement. They are looking to add two strikers and the second striker they want is not available, causing a rethink. Bayern Munich have an option to buy the player back but will likely not be interested in following up on it. Napoli offer an option if Osimhen moves but I suspect it will be settled before then. Arsenal have preferred choices but could turn to Zirkzee and Kia is keen on a move to London but the player is keen on and close to MIlan. Player will not move to become cover or second choice likely ruling out Juventus.
Viktor Gyokeres (S) After only joining last summer Sporting have no interest in selling but fear a club could simply pay his €100M buy out clause in full and try to persuade him to move. Sporting fear Chelasea may do that and have avoided the subject during discussions over another player and a separate issue - and Chelsea has a preferred option. He has attracted scouts representing Manchester United, Spurs and Arsenal with Arsenal seeing him as an option to Toney. Spurs may offer a wildcard option but have a preferred option to effectively replace Kane which they failed to do last summer. Sporting are looking to a new contract and an increase in his buy-out clause. Injury will keep him out to probably mid to late July or so. Will likely stay.
The club have considered a number of options but they now need to reconsider or talk to Brentford about Toney.}

Really appreciate the detailed response, thank you.
All eyes on Toney then.
{Ed002's Note - They will be considering others aswell.}

We don’t need a striker we have KING KAI.
