This development adds another twist to Osimhen’s future.
Chelsea remains keen on securing his services despite complications in the deal, which include Napoli’s high asking price and competition from other top clubs.
The Manchester City giants have been in negotiations with Napoli for months, exploring a potential player-plus-cash deal involving Romelu Lukaku.
However, the Blues have found it difficult to meet Napoli’s asking price, reportedly in excess of £100m, with the Italian club’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, adamant about getting full value for the 25-year-old striker.
Arsenal’s late interest could significantly complicate matters for Chelsea, who view Osimhen as their primary striker target this summer.
