6 Arsenal transfer headlines as Osimhen 'promise' made and £50m target slammed by manager

Time is running out for Arsenal to add some much-needed firepower to their squad as we enter the final two weeks of the transfer window.

Mikel Arteta desperately wants to bolster his forward line after long-term injuries to key duo Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. The Gunners boss is seriously short of attacking options and after losing more ground on leaders Liverpool at the weekend, additions are urgently required to salvage any attempt at winning the Premier League this season.

A number of big names have been linked with moves to the Emirates, but it remains to be seen how much the North London club would be willing to shell out to solve their injury crisis. Recruitment chiefs have been scouring the globe for new talent, but with the clock ticking down, Arteta hopes to parade his first January signing sooner rather than later. Here, Record Sport brings you the six burning transfer headlines.

Napoli superstar Osimhen reportedly features high up on a list of targets for Mikel Arteta.

The Nigerian striker has enjoyed an impressive season on loan at Galatasaray, showcasing his quality with 14 goals and six assists in just 18 appearances for the Turkish league leaders. But the 26-year-old faces an uncertain future upon his return to Naples this summer after a bitter fall-out with Antonio Conte.

The Gunners are said to be monitoring his situation and could launch a move this month, with Manchester United also linked. And according to Turkish journalist Haber Sari Kirmiz, Osimhen has made an explicit promise to potential suitors that he would be open to a club convincing him to leave the Super Lig this month.

Perry Groves has urged Arsenal to go all out to sign the goal machine if his former club fails to land Alexander Isak
