Arsenal have leapfrogged Chelsea in the race to sign Napoli forward Victor Osimhen, according to La Repubblica.

The 25-year-old has asked to leave Napoli this summer and is thought to be attracting interest from the Premier League.

Chelsea have been linked with Osimhen all summer but it seems Arsenal have emerged as his most likely destination.

He has a release clause of around £110m but Napoli are said to be willing to consider bids in the region of £84m.
