Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu have been provided with the biggest hint yet that one of their transfer targets will be available in the summer.
That's because Portuguese newspaper Record is reporting that Benfica are closing in on the signing of Croatian striker Petar Musa - on loan at Boavista from Slavia Prague - which will then allow the sale of Darwin Nunez. football.london understands Nunez, who has scored an impressive 28 times this season, is being tracked by the Gunners as Arteta looks to bolster his frontline over the coming months.
A previous story from the aforementioned paper has also stated that Arsenal are pushing a ‘charm offensive’ to convince Nunez about joining the club, adding they are ‘a few steps above’ other interested parties and could ‘seduce’ the player.
