EPL: Osimhen can give Arsenal powerful presence upfront — Petit

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has expressed his belief that Victor Osimhen could provide the Gunners with a powerful presence upfront if he were to join the club. Petit, who discussed Arsenal’s attacking options with a British sports journalist, highlighted Osimhen as a potential alternative to Julián Alvarez, noting that the two players offer different qualities.

While acknowledging that Osimhen is not as physically imposing as Alvarez, Petit praised the Nigerian striker’s pace, fighting spirit, and personality, which he believes would add a different dimension to Mikel Arteta’s attack. Osimhen, known for his pace, strength, and ability to attack space, would give Arsenal another opportunity to compete at the highest level in the Premier League.
