Arsenal are rumoured to be interested in a move for Darwin Nunez in the summer, with the Liverpool man now part of a long list of striker targets.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal could look at the idea of signing Darwin Nunez in the summer amid reports of Liverpool growing tired of the forward. Whether the two clubs can successfully negotiate a deal for the Uruguayan striker remains to be seen, as the 25-year-old Liverpool star now becomes a part of a long list of striker targets for Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal are expected to make a move for a new striker in the summer, as the media reports continue to bring new names now and then. The latest to emerge on this hypothetical list is that of Darwin Nunez, who continues to face issues over at Liverpool.
The fact that Arne Slot has not trusted the 25-year-old Liverpool star too much in his starting lineup, it’s also on Nunez when given a consistent run of chances. For instance, he was instrumental in Liverpool’s late win away at PSG and then followed that up with a match-winning performance against Sunderland. However, he was eerily quiet when called into action in the second leg of the PSG tie, which has frustrated fans.
Strong reports are stating Arne Slot could disperse off with the player, and now Nunez is widely expected to leave the club in the summer. Any sale will depend on how much Liverpool would want in exchange for the Uruguayan, as not many of the top clubs might pay anywhere close to what the Reds paid a few years ago to Benfica.
Barcelona are one of those interested, and signing for one of the top Spanish sides might appeal to the 25-year-old Liverpool star. However, should Arsenal make a concrete approach, it remains to be seen whether Nunez leaves Liverpool to join one of their direct title rivals in the process.
Will Arsenal sign Darwin Nunez?
Nunez is certainly a player that fits into the mould of a striker that Mikel Arteta wants. There are strong links to Benjamin Sesko, as, from a profile point of view, both the Uruguayan and the Slovenian are similar in their style and profile.
While Arsenal might explore a move for Nunez for the right price, they may not view him as a striker who starts for them every week. Instead, Arteta might see the 25-year-old Liverpool star as someone who could provide depth. The bigger issue would be to convince Liverpool over a sale, as the two clubs have a decent relationship, but it cannot be seen as very strong.
