The Gunners are reportedly looking to sign a new forward in the January transfer window and have been strongly linked to Brentford star Ivan Toney.

However, Campbell thinks the north Londoners could get Osimhen if they wait until the end of the season.

Osimhen has registered 62 goals and 15 assists across 107 games for the Italian side, helping them lift the Serie A title last term.

But his future at Napoli appears to be up in the air amid a nasty fall-out and Osimhen could be set to leave amid reported interest from Premier League clubs.

‘What Osimhen would cost, it would be ground-breaking,’ Campbell told Sky Sports. ‘But it’s just like anything, isn’t it?

‘If you want to be that side and you want that style of play, that type of player, you’ve got to pay the money.

‘Obviously with Champions League money now coming in, Arsenal might be in with a shout of signing Osimhen next summer.’

Campbell is not ruling out a move for Toney, though, and has identified him as another option if the Gunners feel they cannot wait until the end of the season.

‘(Brentford manager) Thomas Frank might have somebody who can help Arsenal this season,’ he added. ‘Arsenal might look to do a deal in January.’
