Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has dropped a concerning verdict on Darwin Nunez that could worry his former club and Manchester United as the pair go head-to-head ahead of what is expected to be a big move. The Uruguayan striker has been linked with a move to the Premier League over recent months after his goal-scoring displays in Portugal.
He has netted 28 goals in all competitions for Benfica this term, with the Gunners and Red Devils believed to be taking a close look at a potential deal. football.london understands that Arsenal are prioritising a move for a striker in the summer with both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah both out of contract at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are thought to be eyeing a forward with the likes of Edinson Cavani, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford all having uncertain futures at Old Trafford. Whilst the Premier League pair are chasing a move for Nunez, any move is not expected to be cheap, with Benfica thought to be demanding a minimum of €80m (£67m) for his services.
