The recent rumours that Arsenal was interested in Darwin Nunez, a striker for Liverpool, undoubtedly wouldn’t have surprised fans ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline. Arne Slot hasn’t utilized Nunez all that much in his new era, but the player has been a blockbuster since joining the Premier League. Several Liverpool fans believed that Nunez would be essential under the new management, but he has only played 18 minutes for the team so far this season.
The Gunners need to find offensive reinforcement before the market closes, so this interest comes at a critical time. The focus of the London team has switched to the Uruguayan, whose status at Anfield looks precarious under the direction of new coach Arne Slot, following Benjamin Sesko’s renewal with RB Leipzig.
This summer, Arsenal looked into making moves for players like Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres, and Victor Osimhen in an attempt to add a striker. Liverpool, on the other hand, has plenty of excellent finishing-third options. In fact, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah, and Luis Diaz are all available to Arne Slot, the new manager.
Even nevertheless, the Reds have made the decision to go ahead and sign Juventus striker Federico Chiesa while bragging about their embarrassing wealth. You can find the most recent information about the agreement here. That means that Liverpool might soon have six experienced players vying for three spots. A minimum of one of those players will inevitably play a significantly smaller role than anticipated.
Darwin Nunez might be the odd man out if Liverpool’s first two matches under Slot are any indication.
