Arsenal have been instructed to sign Victor Osimhen or Ollie Watkins, as well as Crystal Palace pair Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze this summer.
The Gunners have been in stunning form this season and are in the thick of the fight to lift the Premier League title. They sit top of the table with a one-point advantage over reigning champions Manchester City.
Despite still having four games still to play, former Gunner Mikael Silvestre is already turning his attention to the summer transfer window. He has urged Arsenal to swoop for a clinical forward - as well as bolster their wide options with the signing of two Crystal Palace stars.
Speaking to bettingexpert.com, Silvestre said: “Osimhen and Watkins (are the 30-40 goals a season strikers). I think you have to look at the services the other players at Arsenal can provide. A good quality striker is going to create chances by himself but he will get the service at Arsenal.
“Yeah I’d say Osimhen and Watkins are the attackers that can score 30-40 goals a season at Arsenal. Both Olise and Eze are quality players and I don’t think one is a better fit for Arsenal than the other.
“I think they can play for a lot of teams in the league. They have the X-factor for Crystal Palace, they create chances, they are unpredictable and they score goals. I’m sure there will be a lot of suitors for them and not just Arsenal.”
All four players are currently in the middle of productive seasons for their current clubs. Watkins, 28, has scored 26 goals and provided 12 assists in all competitions for Aston Villa this term. A move for him could potentially be tricky given he only signed a new contract in the Midlands in October.
While Osimhen hasn’t been quite as prolific as in Napoli’s title-winning campaign last term, he still has 15 goals to his name this season. Arsenal’s highest scoring natural striker is Gabriel Jesus with just eight goals in all.
Elsewhere, Olise and Eze would represent quality additions in wide positions. The former, 22, has netted seven goals and provided four assists across what has been an injury-hit campaign.
Eze has also continued to shine at Selhurst Park. He has eight goals and five assists to his name this season. Both widemen are under contract with Palace until the summer of 2027.
The pair could potentially add to their impressive numbers as the Eagles’ season comes to a close. Oliver Glasner’s men have four games of the season remaining - the first of which comes against Fulham at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.

That Victor Osimhen should stay far away from our club with his one season wonder. I used to like him until he flopped at AFCON...

Osimhen and Watkins yes but Eze and Olise are not an upgrade on any of Arsenal's first choice attackers. Arsenal can dispense with Nketia or Reiss but I don't accept that Eze or Olise are better. if Nketia n Reiss are given regular playing time as the Crystal Palace duo, our boys may even be better
Olises really good!

Only Osimhen from this list please.
Olise is very good too, just because he plays for palace doesn't mean his stocks are average
