Arsenal is encouraged to sign a player who might be willing to sell Liverpool for £ 50 million, and is supported to score many goals despite a disappointing season
Arsenal has been encouraged to sign Darwin Nunez after reports that Liverpool could be willing to sell the striker for £ 50 million. The 25-year-old is expected to leave Anfield in the coming months after a disappointing return for the goal for the newly crowned Premier League champions this season.
It is known that the Uruguay International Vruiters has in the Middle East, with Al-Nassr having an £ 60 million bid for the frontman who was rejected in January. The former Benfica –man has also attracted interest in teams in Italy, with AC Milan and Napoli both would like to have a deal.
Arsenal -Baas Mikel Arteta is now encouraged to consider a movement for Nunez after ending just behind the Reds in the second place this period. Former Liverpool -striker Dean Saunders made the suggestion after he was brave that he could take the Gunners 25 goals next season.
Such a count would require a clear improvement from Nunez, which only scored seven times in all competitions in his most recent campaign. However, the former Wolves and Wrexham manager said he believed that Arsenal would be lucky to have him after they had described their current transfer goals as “gambles”.
Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig and Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres are the reported Prime Doelen of Arsenal, although the first is conceived as the favorite direction of the club. The 22-year-old striker Sesko scored 21 times last season, while Gyokees yielded an incredible 54 goals of 52 games.
Saunders said on Talksport: “Is there a fan who would be disappointed if their club was linked to Nunez? He doesn't have enough goals for Liverpool, but I think we all look at him with the same eyes.
“It would not surprise me if he went to Arsenal and scored 25 goals. The people they have set, they are all gambling. He plays at least three or four years in the Premier League, and you know what you are going to get.
“He finishes his socks, even if he doesn't score, so he's not a passenger. That's why Liverpool fans like him.”
He added: “He is not hopeless and what is surprising to him is that he has every finish in his locker. He can go around the keeper, he can shoot from the reach and he can score headers, but he seems to find a way to miss sometimes.”
Liverpool wants to sign a new striker this summer, with a step for Hugo Ekitike van Eintracht Frankfurt on the cards. With a club record £ 116 million deal for Florian Wirtz is also in the making, this can lead to various editions to finance the newcomers.
Nunez is looking for a new challenge after starting only eight Premier League matches under Arne Slot this season. He earned praise from his manager for his positive attitude despite the lack of minutes.
Slot discussed the situation of Nunez at the moment: “I don't know exactly what is going to happen. One of the most important strengths we had this season is that everyone has accepted their role.
“And his role can sometimes be to start each game, hardly collected, sometimes being picked up. Sometimes it can't start any game, sometimes hardly any playing [any] minutes.”
