English Premier League (EPL) side Arsenal are expected to make a move for either Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig or Victor Osimhen of Napoli FC in the summer window.
This much information was made known by Sky Italy’s Gianluca Di Marzio, who says he expects Arsenal to make a move for either Sesko or Osimhen when the transfer window reopens.
Recall weeks ago that Di Marzio also reported that Osimhen may likely not sign for French football club Paris Saint-Germain (PS) next season as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe.
The Nigerian international will depart Napoli at the end of the current campaign, according to Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, despite having signed a new deal with the team in December that included a release clause worth approximately £113 million ($144 million).

Di Marzio asserted that the 25-year-old would prefer to play in the Premier League next season as opposed to going back to Ligue 1, even though he has been connected to PSG, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
“I’m not so convinced that Osimhen goes to PSG, he has already played in France with Lille, logically, PSG is something else and would allow you to face matches like the Champions League semi-final, but his preference was and remains England,” Di Marzio said in quotes relayed by Spazio Napoli.
“Chelsea and Arsenal are two clubs that could grab Osimhen.” He added.
Di Marzio also claims that Chelsea is considering enticing Napoli with a partial exchange for Osimhen.
In the proposed trade, Chelsea would pay €90 million in cash to Napoli in exchange for Lukaku, including a young talent, and Osimhen’s signature.
