Arsenal have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of Darwin Nunez as Benfica prepare for life without the striker, according to reports. It comes ahead of a huge summer for the Gunners, who will be preparing to bolster their squad ahead of the next campaign.
While Mikel Arteta missed out on Europe last season, this campaign has seen his side push on for continental football once again. However, despite being in the driving seat for a top four finish, defeat to Newcastle on Monday means they are relying on a slip up from North London rivals Tottenham to earn Champions League football.
Discussing the chances of a top four finish, the Spaniard said: “We need to win and we need a defeat for them. We know that in football anything is possible. You have to be there. Today we have to swallow all the poison that we can and tomorrow start again.”
