Former Arsenal captain William Gallas has backed the Gunners’ decision not to chase Victor Osimhen.
The North London club are desparate to bolster their attack with a new player this summer.
Osimhen has established himself as one of the best forwards in the game in recent years.
The Nigeria international was top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig last season with 26 goals and five assists for Galatasaray.
Gallas believes Osimhen’s personality would be a problem for Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta.
“Victor Osimhen is a top class striker but I could see him clashing with Mikel Arteta,” the Frenchman told Prime Casino.
“Viktor Gyokeres would be a better fit, but Arsenal have to win the Premier League next season which means they need to sign Alexander Isak. Isak is perfect for Arsenal and they should be going all out to sign him.
He would adapt instantly and give them the best chance of winning the title out of any player in the world, they don’t have time to let a striker adapt.”
