English Premier League team Arsenal  have not given up in their chase for Nigeria Under 23 international Victor Osimhen despite strong competition from Wolfsburg.

Arsenal were one of the first teams to express an interest to secure the signature of the Golden Boot winner at the last FIFA Under 17 World Cup and are being encouraged by the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, and Stellar Group.

United Kingdom - based agency Stellar Group have officially communicated to Ultimate Strikers, claiming that the Emirates outfit are willing to pay a four million pounds transfer fee for Victor Osimhen.

Jonathan Barnett’s Stellar Group had wanted to manage the affairs of the Golden Eaglets sensation immediately after the tournament in Chile but were only given a mandate for Arsenal.

Juventus, Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon and R.S.C. Anderlecht are among a clutch of clubs interested in snapping up Osimhen from his nursery team.
