Darwin Nunez has not been in the best form this season, but the Liverpool striker has been selected as the perfect fit for Rivals Arsenal.
According to the former Reds star Didi Hamann, who encouraged the Gunners to move to the Uruguay International in the summer. Arsenal is currently in the middle of an attacking injury crisis, where the ACL injury of Gabriel Jesus may keep him from the start of the following season, and many frontmen are connected.
Mikel Arteta did not succeed in adding a new striker in January, with Aston Villa who returned an offer for Ollie Watkins. Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig still seems to be probably participating in the summer, but alternatives are driven.
One is Nunez, whose struggles have encouraged this term to talk about an exit in Liverpool. He struggled against Villa on Wednesday, with Watkins on Target in a 2-2 draw, but Hamann claims that the former Benfica star has something to offer to offer Arteta's side.
“The only real question mark that I am talking about the Arsenal team is the central forward position. And I think even Darwin Nunez, I think Nunez would be gold for Arsenal,” Hamann told Prime Casino. “Because I think if you have someone at the top who plague defenders, who attract defenders, he always gets the attention of two or three defenders.
“Of course he is a big unity. It is fast. The game changes. If you have someone at the top with a physical presence, with pace, it's a different ball game.
“They always find space, Arsenal, but it also makes it easier for people like [Bukayo] Saka and [Gabriel] Martinelli and [Martin] Odegaard when they get into these pockets because fast players stretch teams. They just don't have it. I think that even a nunez would be a brilliant addition to the team, but it is now too late for that and they have to do with what they have. “
Nunez has scored only six goals this season, although it included a brace to win a final victory in Brentford in January. He had a golden chance to win another victory in Villa Park on Wednesday evening, only to fire with the goal.
“Not so happy, to be honest,” Liverpool -Baas Arne Slot told TNT Sports after the game, where Nunez is not the only player who wastes a big chance. “We have created many more opportunities than they and created opportunities to win. But we also admitted from a fixed piece.
“If you are 1-0, it is far from easy. Their second chance was a goal, was a cross, but they might have won it in the last moments, but if you put together all the opportunities, I am not happy with the 2 -2. “
