Victor Osimhen travelling to see Arsenal facilities ahead of potential transfer

Nigeria Under-17 star Victor Osimhen as confirmed that he will be visiting Arsenal ahead of a potential transfer move to the club.

A highly-rated striker, Osimhen shot to prominence during the U17 World Cup earlier this year, with the youngster scoring 10 goals in 7 games to help Nigeria to the trophy.

It’s understood that a number of clubs around Europe are now tracking the player, with Arsenal, Wolfsburg and Tottenham all credited with an interest.

And in an interview with footballlive.ng, Osimhen has revealed Wolfsburg have made him a substantial offer, but that he’s also waiting to see what Arsenal will do.

‘I spoke with the [Wolfsburg] coach who also made several promises and if I eventually choose to sign for them, I hope they’ll keep their word,’ he said.

‘But I have not decided where to go yet because Arsenal are also showing strong interests and perhaps after my visit to the club, I will have a clear view of where I want to go.’

A number of players have been convinced to join Arsenal after visiting their facilities, and Osimhen could well be next.
