· Updated
Arsenal is reportedly considering a late transfer move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as the club seeks to strengthen its attack before the window closes. The pursuit follows difficulties in signing other targets, including Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr, and challenges with moves for Julian Alvarez and Bradley Barcola.
Osimhen, who currently plays for Galatasaray in Turkey, is viewed as a potential alternative. The Nigeria international had a prolific season in Turkey and is considered one of Europe's most sought-after strikers.
In addition to their search for an attacker, Arsenal is also working on defensive reinforcements, with a reported interest in signing Aston Villa and England defender Ezri Konsa before the deadline. The club's activities are part of a broader flurry of late-window moves among Premier League teams.
Manchester United's main priority is signing a new left-back, though Newcastle are reluctant to sell their key target, Lewis Hall. Liverpool continues negotiations for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola but is reportedly unwilling to meet PSG's £145 million asking price. Premier League clubs are expected to remain active in the final stages of the transfer window.
