Indeed, Arteta really needs quality attacking players in Arsenal's front line. Because so far this is the only weakness that Arsenal has. Namely not having a spearhead who can really be expected to be the best finisher in scoring goals.

Well, the problem may be that the price that Napoli will offer is always quite high, even last season many teams withdrew because of Osimhen's high price at that time. And it could be that this season the same thing happens. but you are right that adding a player swap to the deal would probably increase Arsenal's chances of getting Osimhen. Namely Napoli could lower Osimhen's price if they perhaps get some of the players they also need. And it is reported that Napoli is quite interested in two players from Arsenal, namely Takehiro Tomiyasu and Emile Smith Rowe. But another problem is that Napoli's new coach could want to keep Osimhen who is really needed there.
I don't think there is any need to worry about the new coach that Napoli has, namely Conte. Because it seems there has been no news saying that he wants the club to keep Osimhen. Even the news circulating is that Conte wants the club to bring Lukaku from Chelsea to Napoli. For this reason, Napoli might try to release Osimhen at a high price so that the team can buy Lukaku from Chelsea. It seems like Chelsea really wants to let Lukaku go as soon as possible.

Arsenal could indeed be a good club for Victor Osimhen and if Napoli succeed in releasing Osimhen for a high enough price then Napoli can also start their hunt for Lukaku. This will be quite interesting.
One of the reasons why Arsenal cannot compete with Man City is because they do not have a striker who is productive in scoring goals. Arsenal does have Gabriel Jesus but his performance is less than optimal and he is often injured. So Arsenal must bring in a world-class bomber to be able to score more goals. Several names have been linked with Mikel Arteta's team. One of them is Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen.

The player from Nigeria two seasons ago led Napoli to become Serie A champions. He became the top scorer with a collection of 26 goals. so Osimhen would be very suitable for Arsenal. But recruiting Osimhen is very difficult. Moreover, Napoli set a very high price tag on him. There is interesting news, Napoli is ready to release the striker to the Gunners, with the condition that Arsenal must release two players, namely Takehiro Tomiyasu and Emile Smith Rowe.
