This isn't the first time arsenal is been linked to Osimhen so if you're doubting Arsenal's ability to pay for Victor Osimhen under Mikel Artheta then it's obvious you're one of those that still retains the mental scope of Arsenal during Arsene Wenger's era as manager. The signing of Declan Rice for a whooping £100 million plus £5m and add-ons elucidates that Arsenal is nothing like it were under Wenger, he Artheta is all out to win the EPL trophy and getting the services of players that would make that possible wouldn't be a problem for him if the player fit in his interest and playing pattern.
It's so surprising how team are splashing millions of dollars on average players these days. It would have been interesting to see how it would have been if Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Messi and Zidane are the young players of this generation, Messi and Ronaldo specifically will be worth billions in their peak right now if players like Rice and others could worth this amount. The reason why Wenger and the rest didn't do what they are doing today is because football isn't value again.
It is not that football isn't valued again but the football business of today has taken a different dimension evolving from what it was one or two decades ago. For some owners of the clubs now it's the making of profit through those transfers for them with season than winning trophies, and the media has been so good with the hypes lately.
If you ask me, a new generation of managers entirely has taken the center stage in all leagues and another aspect you are failing to put into consideration is that if we are to equate the value of money two decades ago to what the value is today you may want to agree with me that there's really no significant difference in these spendings today with the likes of the young Ronaldo's of yesterday.
