Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu has reportedly emerged as a top transfer target for Premier League outfit Arsenal this summer.

The 27-year-old striker who won the golden boot in Belgium last season for his goalscoring prowess has been linked with a number of top European clubs.

West Ham United were said to be leading the race for the forward's signature after his agent flew to London for discussions.

Watford are also said to be interested in the Super Eagles attacker despite already capturing his compatriot Dennis Bonnaventure this summer.

But Daily Post quoting The Athletic claim Arsenal have now jumped to the top of the list of teams eyeing the Super Eagles towering striker.

How much Arsenal plan to offer for Onuachu

The publication reports that the North London club are looking to offer a sum of €30 million for the Genk striker who also prefers the Emirates Stadium as his next destination.

However, the Gunners will have to offload Academy graduate Eddie Nketiah in a bid to create space for Onuachu, who netted 35 goals in Belgium this past season.

The forward has scored three goals in 13 appearances for Nigeria since he made his national team debut in March 2019 - scoring an early goal in a friendly game against Egypt.

Onuachu shows off stunning Mercedes G-Wagon

Earlier, TUKO.co.ke reported how Onuachu took to social media to flaunt his stunning Mercedes G-Wagon worth about KSh 13 million.

The 27-year-old striker was pictured chilling on the bonnet of the sunning ride sending fans into a meltdown.

His simplicity was also written all over what he wore as he sported a short-sleeve shirt and a nicker.

The attacker had no word to describe the post but it all showed that the Super Eagles star is having fun while resting before he rejoins his teammates for their preseason tour.
