Evra argues that this choice could significantly impact the Gunners’ chances of contending for the Premier League title this season.
Osimhen was the subject of interest from several top clubs across Europe, but he ultimately joined Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal.
In a TikTok video, Evra questioned, “Tell me how Galatasaray could buy Victor Osimhen, but Arsenal didn’t?” His comments reflect disappointment regarding Arsenal’s inability to secure a top-class striker.
Evra pointed out Arsenal’s lack of a clinical forward, stating, “They don’t have a killer. They don’t have a striker,” suggesting that the team is missing a crucial element in their attacking lineup.
Since joining Galatasaray, Osimhen has made a notable impact, scoring four goals and providing three assists in just seven appearances.
With Osimhen excelling in Turkey, Evra’s remarks raise concerns about Arsenal’s offensive capabilities as they strive for success in the Premier League.
The former defender’s insights highlight the importance of having a prolific striker in the competitive landscape of English football.
