Arsenal Reportedly List Osimhen, Toney Among Top 10 Transfer Targets

• Arsenal are keeping close tabs on at least two Super Eagles forwards
• Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface are at the top of Arsenal’s wishlist
• The Gunners are seeking to sign a new marquee striker in the summer

Arsenal have reportedly compiled a 10-man shortlist of top attackers across Europe’s major leagues as they prepare to sign a marquee center-forward in the summer transfer window.

The Gunners, who are the Premier League’s best-attacking team this season, have played without a recognized number nine this campaign due to the frequent injuries of Gabriel Jesus.

According to the Daily Post, Arsenal have been keeping tabs on two Super Eagles forwards as Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface are reportedly on the club’s wishlist.

Osimhen attracted the Premier League club’s interest after a remarkable 2022/23 season where he scored 26 Serie A goals to lead Napoli to their first league title in 33 years.
