PIERS MORGAN has urged Arsenal to sign a world-class striker this summer.
The Gunners are currently on the verge of completing a club-record transfer for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice.
The Gunners are already on the verge of completing a £105m deal for Rice
Piers Morgan believes Rice will be a ‘monstrously good addition’ to Arsenal
Morgan has urged Arsenal to ‘break the bank’ for Osimhen
Arsenal are set to fork out £105million for the 24-year-old, making him the most expensive English player in the Premier League.
It will take the club’s summer spending total up to £170m, with Kai Havertz already confirmed as an Arsenal player following his move from Chelsea.
But Morgan has urged the Gunners to “break the bank” for a striker.
The TV presenter and SunSport columnist, who is a huge Arsenal fan, wants to see Napoli ace Victor Osimhen at the club.
He tweeted: “It’s brilliant that Arsenal seem to have won the race to sign @_DeclanRice who will be a monstrously good addition to the team.
“But if we want to win big trophies, we also need a world-class striker who will score 25+ goals a season. I’d break the bank for @victorosimhen9.”
Osimhen has been heavily linked with a move away from Napoli this summer.
Several clubs have expressed an interest in signing the striker, but the Serie A champions value him at £150m.
Arsenal are also said to be closing in on a deal to sign Jurrien Timber from Ajax.
The Gunners are expected to pay £41.5m for the defender, who has already agreed personal terms.
