The Former french international and Arsenal star, Emmanuel Petit has urged the club to make a move for Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen in the January transfer window.

The Gunners have scored 29 goals in the Premier League this season, the fourth-highest in the division, but strikers Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz have struggled with consistency.

Havertz has five goals but has found the back of the net just once in the last seven games, while Jesus has been in poorer form as has not scored in 12 league games.

Arsenal trail league leaders Liverpool by six points, but have played one more game than the Reds.

The former French international urged Arsenal to reinforce their attacking options, citing Osimhen as a good target.

“I think Arsenal needs one or two more players, especially up front and maybe on the left flank to make rotations and to bring more qualities as well,” Petit, who won the Premier League and FA Cup with Arsenal, said to talkSPORT.

“They need a really, really good striker that can score goals because I really like Kai Havertz, sometimes [Gabriel] Jesus can do the job.

“But a typical striker that can score 20, 30 goals per season, this is exactly what Arsenal needs.

“I really like Osimhen. I think he’s on the radar of Paris Saint-Germain as well. I like Leao from AC Milan. They are different players but they are performing well at their clubs.”

Osimhen has been in great form for Galatasaray, scoring 10 goals in 13 games. He is the Turkish giants’ top scorer this term.
