Stats Scouting: Victor Osimhen

The silly season of transfer rumors is heating up and today is no exception to that. Arsenal have fresh links to Victor Osimhen via Gazzetta Dello Sport and Sports Witness.

I am not 100% sure where the original report is because the link in the article below only takes one to Gazzetta homepage but I am not going to let that stop me from being distracted with the Arsenal struggles with a shiny transfer rumor.

Osimhen is a player that has come up before with links to Arsenal and also came up when I did a striker shopping list last month, landing in tier 2 (solidly realistic target).

Osimhen has an interesting profile for how Arsenal have been playing, especially compared with Lacazette.

The obvious differences are in the big "striker" type stuff in shots and goals and then the more "false 9" type stuff of linking and facilitating.

So let's look at things at a more detailed level.
