Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has advised Arsenal to consider signing Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen instead of Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak.
Arsenal have been linked with the need for additional attacking quality, and the choice between two highly regarded forwards could become an important transfer discussion ahead of the summer window.
Softfootball reports that Cole believes Osimhen would be the ideal option for Arsenal as the Gunners look to strengthen their squad. The Nigerian striker has continued to attract attention because of his goalscoring ability and physical presence.
Osimhen’s performances have made him one of the most sought-after forwards in European football. His ability to lead the line and create problems for defenders could suit Arsenal’s attacking approach.
Isak is also highly rated and has impressed in the Premier League, but Cole has identified Osimhen as the player he believes would provide Arsenal with the qualities they need.
The final decision will depend on Arsenal’s plans and the options available during the transfer window. However, Cole’s recommendation adds further attention to Osimhen’s future.
