Benfica boss Nelson Verissimo has suggested that Arsenal and Chelsea target Darwin Nunez could be worth as much as Joao Felix. The Gunners have been linked with a move for the Uruguayan striker for some time, with the club keen on bolstering their forward options.
Both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are out of contract in the summer, leaving Arsenal with a considerable vacancy at the top end of the pitch. A number of candidates have been mooted, including Alexander Isak and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with Nunez also firmly among them. Elsewhere, Chelsea could be looking for forward replacements, with club record signing Romelu Lukaku continuing to misfire, whilst Timo Werner has regularly been linked with moves away.
It is suggested by The Athletic that the Blues - alongside Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain - are the current frontrunners for Nunez’s services, news that will certainly concern Arsenal. Another major doubt that could arise ahead of any potential deal is that the striker could be set to cost a princely sum.
