Former Nigeria midfielder John Ogu has thrown his weight behind a potential transfer of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen to Arsenal, publicly expressing his hopes on social media.

Osimhen, 27, has been among the most talked-about names in the transfer market for several years. His exploits at Galatasaray have only amplified speculation about a Premier League move, with Arsenal emerging as a serious suitor.

Ogu's social media plea

Ogu made his feelings clear in a post on X, writing: "Dear Lord, please let his move to Arsenal come to pass… AMEN." The message, simple yet emphatic, quickly drew attention from football fans across the continent.

According to The Telegraph, Arsenal held exploratory discussions with Galatasaray over a possible move for Osimhen. The talks remain at an early stage and are reportedly linked to broader negotiations involving other player valuations.

Osimhen's record-breaking spell at Galatasaray

Osimhen's form at the Turkish club has been nothing short of remarkable. He reached 50 goals for Galatasaray in just 59 appearances — a record-setting pace that underlines his status as one of the world's most clinical finishers.

The Nigeria international played a central role in leading Galatasaray to back-to-back Süper Lig titles, including a decisive brace in a 4-2 victory over Antalyaspor that proved pivotal in their title charge.

Beyond domestic football, Osimhen also made his mark on the European stage. He delivered standout performances in both the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League, contributing goals and assists against top-tier opposition — including a winning penalty against Liverpool.
