Football analyst Kieran Davies has expressed doubts that Arsenal can afford to sign former African Footballer of the Year Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray. Davies pointed out that the Nigeria international's earnings at Galatasaray far exceed what Arsenal currently pays their top earner, Bukayo Saka. Osimhen, who has been impressively scoring goals since the start of the 2026-27 season, is reported to be earning around £326,000 per week in Turkey.
This is significantly higher than what Saka earns for Arsenal, which is estimated at £300,000 per week. Davies suggested that Arsenal would need to significantly reduce Osimhen's wage expectations in order to secure his transfer. The analyst noted that Osimhen currently receives a guaranteed annual salary of €15 million at Galatasaray, plus a €1 million loyalty bonus per season and €5 million annually in image rights.
