Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta has been spotted at Galatasaray match amid reports of discussions over Nigeria international Victor Osimhen, as interest in the striker continues to grow across Europe.
Osimhen, who has been in prolific form for Galatasaray, is widely regarded as one of the most complete forwards in world football, and his consistent output has fuelled long-standing speculation over a move to the Premier League.
Arsenal, who are understood to be in need of greater attacking efficiency despite their strong position in domestic and European competition this season, are among the clubs monitoring the 27-year-old, with Berta reportedly travelling to Turkey for talks with Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek.
The meeting has also drawn public attention in Turkey, where renowned Turkish journalist Serkan Korkmaz claimed the Gunners’ interest is focused directly on the striker and insisted that only one version of events should be considered credible.
“Arsenal’s target is Osimhen!” Korkmaz stated authoritatively on X.
“The Arsenal sporting director and Özbek met last night [Sunday]. Any other claims about what was discussed in their private meeting are not true.”
