Last week, the Gunners’ sporting director Andrea Berta, watched on as Osimhen scored in the 3-0 win over Fenerbahce in a league fixture.
It is understood that Arsenal could be in the market for a new striker, with Gabriel Jesus set to depart.
But Galatasaray would demand big money for their talisman, who only made his move from Napoli permanent at the star of this season.
According to FourFourTwo, Osimhen would likely represent a total financial commitment of approximately £200 million over a standard five-year contract.
Galatasaray would likely hold out for a transfer fee in the region of £100 million, which would make him one of the Gunners’ most expensive signings. However, the main complexity lies in the wage structure.

Arsenal would need to offer the Nigerian roughly £300,000, before loyalty bonuses and image rights.
