Andrea Berta sent tongues wagging after the Arsenal Sporting Director was pictured attending Sunday’s game between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.
The Italian oversaw an unprecedented summer of spending ahead of the present season which saw the Gunners focus, within the predominant, on bolstering their attack.
Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres arrived on the Emirates Stadium for a combinded total of over £200million but that trio have impressed only sporadically.
The shape of England international Eze has improved dramatically over the course of the last month, but his fellow latest recruits have struggled to make telling impacts.
Madueke has scored just two Premier League goals all season and has struggled to offer effective cover for the injured Bukayo Saka.
Gyokeres, meanwhile, has scored 18 goals in all competition since joining from Sporting Lisbon but his record against elite opposition has been hugely disappointing.
Indeed, with no goals against an enormous six opponent, Mikel Arteta opted to revive Kai Havertz to the starting line-up and drop Gyokeres to the bench for every of Arsenal last two games.
With that in mind Arsenal are, in line with Turkish journalist t Serkan Korkmaz, studying the feasibility of a move for Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen.
The Nigeria international has hit 20 goals in all competitions this season and has been settled in Turkey where he earns a staggering €21 million per yr.
A move to the Premier League has been on the cardboard for a while, nevertheless, with Chelsea and Manchester United each having been linked with a move for the 27-year-old who enjoyed prolific spells at Lille and Napoli earlier in his profession.
In keeping with AS, meanwhile, Berta, who watched Osimhen rating in a 3-0 win, also has his eye on two other Galatasaray first team stars.
Versatile forward Barıs Alper Yilmaz, who can also be able to playing at full-back, was discussed during talks on Sunday in addition to goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir.
David Raya has enjoyed one other outstanding campaign and stays the club’s undisputed No.1.
Arteta was, nevertheless, keen to pursue a move for Joan Garcia before he opted to affix Barcelona.
Kepa Arrizabalaga was eventually signed to play the role of back-up but Cakir would add an extra level of competition.
The 30-year-old joined Galatasaray from Trabzonspor for a record fee of €30.5million last summer and can also be wanted by Bayern Munich.
