He initially signed on loan before the deal became permanent last summer.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2024\/25 campaign, the Nigerian showcased his productivity, scoring 37 goals and registering seven assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Osimhen displayed his goal-scoring prowess last season as well, making 28 goal contributions in 33 matches in all tournaments. Moreover, he has enjoyed a bright start to this term, scoring twice in the opening Super Lig game.<\/p>\n<p>The Nigerian has helped Galatasaray win two league titles and a domestic cup competition over the last couple of seasons. Having proven his worth in club football, he has established himself as a talismanic figure for the Nigerian national team.<\/p>\n<p>Now, <em>Football Insider<\/em> state that Arsenal are interested in Osimhen and have enquired about his availability during talks with Galatasaray over Gabriel Martinelli potentially moving to Rams Park Stadyumu.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal could even launch a concrete bid to seal the deal, with Galatasaray demanding more than \u00a360m to sell him, and the player\u2019s existing deal is set to run until 2029.<\/p>\n<h2>Osimhen to Arsenal<\/h2>\n<p>The report state that Osimhen currently earns around \u00a3300,000-a-week in salary at Rams Park Stadyumu, and Arsenal will have to make him the club\u2019s highest-paid player to sign him this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Osimhen is a 6ft 1in tall right-footed striker. He is quick, strong, good in the air, and efficient in finishing off his chances. Moreover, he can hold up the play and work hard without possession.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old is a highly talented player and possesses the necessary physical attributes to flourish in the <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/tag\/premier-league\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"21\" title=\"Premier League\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a>.
