Victor Osimhen breaks silence on Arsenal transfer interest as he admits uncertainty over Napoli future

NAPOLI forward Victor Osimhen has admitted "anything can happen" amid reports of a £51million bid from Arsenal.
The Gunners are in the hunt for a new forward or two.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left for Barcelona in January and Alexandre Lacazette will officially re-join Lyon when his contract expires at the end of this month.
That leaves just Eddie Nketiah at the club as the only recognised striker.
According to reports in Italy, Arsenal submitted a £51m bid for Napoli forward Osimhen.
But the Serie A outfit rate the Nigeria international closer to £85m.

Osimhen has a prolific record for Napoli, netting 28 goals in 68 appearances for the club since his big money 2020 switch.
Despite speculation of an exit, Osimhen has insisted he will always do his best for club and country.
But the forward also admitted that "anything can happen".
Osimhen said: "I always go out on the pitch to do my best both with the national team and with my club.

"I don’t know my future, I know anything can happen, but now I just want to go on holiday with my family, clear my head and recharge my batteries.
"Then we’ll take care of everything else."
Osimhen is true to his word. The 23-year-old scored FOUR for Nigeria against Sao Tome in an Afcon qualifier, proving undeterred by the transfer speculation.
