Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez is attracting interest from several top European clubs ahead of the summer transfer window. Despite scoring 11 goals and providing 8 assists in the Premier League this season, speculation continues about his future at Anfield. Liverpool values the Uruguayan forward at around €80 million, with clubs like Barcelona and Atlético Madrid closely monitoring the situation.
For the past three seasons, Darwin Nunez has struggled to find consistent form at Liverpool, scoring just four Premier League goals this season. Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann believes Nunez would be an ideal fit for Arsenal, a club lacking a dominant center forward. Hamann argues that Nunez’s physical presence, pace, and ability to draw defenders would create more space for Arsenal’s wingers, like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, and playmaker Martin Odegaard.
Despite missing a crucial open goal against Aston Villa and losing his starting spot to Curtis Jones, Nunez remains capable of making an impact, as shown by his winning goal against Brentford. While Arsenal explored striker options in January, Liverpool had no intention of selling Nunez without securing a replacement. Hamann insists Arsenal’s title hopes are hindered without a quick, powerful striker like Nunez, comparing their situation to elite sides like Pep Guardiola’s teams, which thrived with pace and physicality up front.
However, Liverpool.com questions whether a move to Arsenal is realistic, as Liverpool would demand a high fee for a player who, despite his potential, has not proven consistent enough in the Premier League after three years.
