Victor Osimhen scores incredible goal for Lille OSC<\/h3>\n

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has sent Arsenal and Chelsea back to the drawing board by revealing that the Premier League duo’s top striker target, Victor Osimhen, is on the verge of signing a new contract. With that in mind, Express Sport<\/em> takes you through four other attacking options the Blues and the Gunners should consider…<\/p>\n

Ivan Toney<\/h3>\n

Widely considered to be next in the queue for both Arsenal and their cross-city rivals, Toney’s 20-goal Premier League haul last season left him behind only Manchester City extraordinaire Erling Haaland and England captain Harry Kane.<\/p>\n

Toney, 27, has made no secret of the notion that he wants to test his talents at a higher level than Brentford, who are expected to demand \u00a380million if big teams come knocking in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

Moving for the former Newcastle United star wouldn’t be without risk, however, as he has been suspended from football this season for breaching betting regulations and will not return to the pitch until after the New Year.<\/p>\n

Dusan Vlahovic<\/h3>\n

The Serb had been linked with a move to the Premier League even before completing his big-money move to Juventus almost two years ago. Chelsea and Arsenal both hold an interest in Vlahovic, who has scored five Serie A goals so far this season.<\/p>\n

His services wouldn’t come cheap though. Given the mammoth fee Juve forked out to lure him away from Fiorentina, the Turin giants will only accept a premium offer, with reports placing the 23-year-old’s asking price at a hefty \u00a386m.<\/p>\n
