​Newcastle United are reportedly plotting a move for a €70 million-rated striker, with fellow Premier League side Arsenal also interested.​

​According to stunning reports, Arsenal have turned their attention to another Serie A star following their failed pursuit of Dusan Vlahovic.

Newcastle are also keen despite already securing a striker this month in the shape of Chris Woods from relegation rivals Burnley. 

Per Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport via Football Italia, Newcastle and Arsenal are eyeing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

​The 23-year-old joined the Naples-based team from Lille in a transfer worth €80 million (£69 million) with add-ons.​

He's in his second season at Napoli, but is attracting interest following his potential and goal-scoring heroics. 

The Nigerian international scored 10 goals in his debut term and has nine goals in all competitions this campaign.

The report states Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis would be prepared to sell his prized asset as long as their valuation is met. 

It's believed that Osimhen​ has a whopping €70 million (£58 million) price tag on his head. ​

Mikel Arteta's side are still in the market for a new striker after missing out on Vlahovic​ not to mention the situation regarding Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang. 

As for Newcastle, they want extra firepower up front to avoid relegation from the top flight. 

Eddie Howe is currently in Saudi Arabia, but insists the club are working hard towards new transfers.

"A lot of hard work is being done back in England," he said via The Shields Gazette.

"I've got no news to tell everybody at the moment but I'm keeping regularly updated but as we know it's a difficult window and we just hope we can get a couple more additions to boost the squad."
