'Osimhen wants to be highest goalscorer in AFCON'

Victor Osimhen could be the latest young player to be swayed by Arsenal’s state-of-the-art London Colney facilities after he was invited to the club for a trial.
The Nigeria Under-17 starlet made his mark at the U-17 World Cup earlier this year, scoring 10 goals in 7 games to help the Super Eagles win the tournament, while also picking up the Golden Boot trophy himself.

Speaking to footballlive.ng, Osimhen revealed that he has already received a

substantial offer from Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg, but remains hopeful that Arsenal will also make an official bid shortly.

“I spoke with the [Wolfsburg] coach who also made several promises and if I eventually choose to sign for them, I hope they’ll keep their word,” he said.

“But I have not decided where to go yet because Arsenal are also showing strong interests and perhaps after my visit to the club, I will have a clear view of where I want to go.
