Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has addressed speculation linking him with a £58 million move to Arsenal, refusing to rule out a transfer to the Premier League.
Reports indicate that Arsenal and Galatasaray discussed Osimhen's availability during negotiations involving potential moves to Istanbul for Gunners duo Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri.
When asked about interest from Mikel Arteta's side, Osimhen kept his future open: "There are always rumors in transfer seasons. I will take care of my business. I am focused on my job, then we will see and think further."
Talks emerged while Galatasaray explored a £38m move for Gabriel Martinelli and a deal for Ethan Nwaneri, prompting discussions regarding Osimhen's £58m valuation.
The 27-year-old Nigerian international has repeatedly expressed his long-term dream of playing in the English top flight.
Osimhen has scored 61 goals in 75 appearances for Galatasaray since arriving from Napoli, remaining a central figure in their domestic title defenses.
