Arsenal\u2019s pursuit of Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, has continued to heat up as Mikel Arteta\u2019s troops aim to sustain momentum in their English Premier League title challenge, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n It is no longer news that the Napoli-owned striker has been on the radar of several top European clubs<\/a>, but Arsenal, according to some, might be making a risky move by going after him.<\/p>\n Former Tottenham striker Darren Bent recently weighed in on the situation, warning the Gunners<\/a> that signing Osimhen might not be the guarantee they hope for.<\/p>\n Raising concerns over the Nigerian striker\u2019s attitude, the former England international suggested that his pasts at Napoli and his saga with Finidi George<\/a>, didn\u2019t reflect a good mentality.<\/p>\n This, therefore, begs the question of whether Arsenal should risk another transfer regret or take the boldness to sign a player who could finally solve their long-standing striker issue.<\/p>\n It would be recalled that the Emirates outfit failed to secure the signature of Gonzalo Higua\u00edn in 2013. As at then, the Argentine forward, then at Real Madrid, was available for a reasonable price, but Arsenal baulked at the deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n Higua\u00edn went on to join Napoli, where he enjoyed a successful stint, while Arsenal, stuck with Olivier Giroud as their primary striker, never fully replaced the goals and quality they missed out on.<\/p>\n Fast forward to today, and the Gunners face a similar scenario. Osimhen, who has been in sensational form at Napoli, is one of Europe\u2019s hottest forwards.<\/p>\n Get Our Sports News First \u2013 Join Our WhatsApp Channel Now!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n However, Bent\u2019s warning about Osimhen\u2019s attitude cannot be completely dismissed. The striker\u2019s consistency in front of goal has been impressive, but there have been moments when questions about his attitude.<\/p>\n A recent example includes his reaction to being substituted under the guidance of Luciano Spalletti when he was at Napoli. And his attitude towards his then-Super Eagles coach, Finidi<\/a>, which garnered attention on social media.<\/p>\n \u201cVictor Osimhen, is he really going to be the answer?\u201d Darren Bent said on talkSPORT as quoted by Football Transfers<\/a>. \u201cYes, he was good at Napoli, but maybe his attitude has been questioned on occasions, that\u2019s still a risk.<\/p>\n \u201cI just don\u2019t think you can just go out there and guarantee, right, we know he\u2019s the guy who\u2019s going to go and score us 20, 25 goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n However, it\u2019s important to look deeper into Osimhen\u2019s overall record. His contribution to Napoli\u2019s Serie A title-winning season proves his quality and he is now building on his impressive performance with the Turkish giants Galatasaray SK.<\/p>\n Under the right coaching system, particularly one like Mikel Arteta\u2019s at Arsenal, it\u2019s likely that Osimhen could thrive and overcome any minor mental lapses.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/imago1050664530-scaled.jpg\")
