Rapper Odumodublvck says he will buy Gunners season ticket if Osimhen joins Arsenal

NIGERIAN rapper Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu popularly known as Odumodublvck has promised to become an Arsenal season ticket holder if the Gunners succeed in signing Super eagles striker Victor Osimhen during the forthcoming transfer window.

Osimhen, 27, joined Galatasaray from Italian giants Napoli, after a planned move to English Premier League side Chelsea collapsed. Since he moved to Turkey, however, there has been a lot of speculation regarding his future because many football commentators that Osimhen will end up playing in one of the big leagues like England, Spain, France or Germany.

Of late, Osimhen has been linked with several of Europe's elite and Arsenal in particular have been mentioned because they have s striker crisis. Sections of the Turkish media reported that Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, was recently spotted at Rams Park, the Galatasaray training ground.

It had been reported that the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Real Madrid had all sent scouts to monitor Osimhen during the recent Istanbul derby against Fernebahce. Arsenal are now thought to be desperate for a top striker, as they are facing the prospect of losing out on the Premier League title again due to inadequate firepower upfront.

Viktor Gyökeres, the Swedish striker Arsenal signed from Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon last summer, has failed to ignite the league. Unfortunately, the Swedish forward has struggled to remain consistent and is not showing the kind of class title rivals are getting from their main striker Erling Haaland.

If Arsenal finish the season without silverware, a squad overhaul is expected and adding Osimhen to the frontline cannot be ruled out. Odumodublvck took to social media to express his enthusiasm for the potential transfer.

On X, he wrote: "If Osimhen go Arsenal, I go be season ticket holder. God punish devil.”

​Odumodublvck, the Afrobeat star is well known for his hit single Declan Rice, which was used to unveil the English midfielder following his British-record move from West Ham to Arsenal in 2023. Odumodublvck is a football enthusiast, frequently sharing his take on the Super Eagles, Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal on social media and visits Premier League stadiums to watch games.

Although Osimhen has usually expressed his appreciation and love for Galatasaray, the allure of a Premier League giant like Arsenal would be difficult to ignore. However, it might be difficult for a deal to suffice as Galatasaray are unwilling to entertain offers below €100m and the striker’s substantial wage demands could further complicate negotiations.
