The Turkish giants have already rejected an offer of £111million this summer from an unnamed club, believed to be Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal. Arsenal would find it hard to soften that stance, although they can take heart from Newcastle initially being adamant Bruno Guimaraes would not be sold. Osimhen is a player that the Gunners have looked at in the past, including when Edu was their sporting director. The 27-year-old scored 22 goals in all competitions last season and helped Galatasaray win the Turkish top flight. The Gunners are in the market for a marquee attacker this summer, but failed in their attempts to sign Morgan Rogers and Vinicius Junior. The club are also looking to offload players, with Martinelli and Nwaneri offered to Galatasaray.
