London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal could be set for a transfer tussle this summer as reports have linked both with a move for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez this summer. However, according to reports, they aren’t the only Premier League side interested.
Fellow English team Newcastle United are said to have put in an offer to sign the Uruguayan this summer, potentially complicating the move. It comes as both the Blues and the Gunners try to solve their respective problems in attack.
For Thomas Tuchel, his side haven’t been able to keep up with the goal-scoring pursuits of Manchester City and Liverpool this season, despite spending over £100million to sign Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan. With the Belgian’s lack of goals, the German coach has emphasised the need for patience: “I still believe that he [Romelu Lukaku] will [score goals] because he always did, we need more patience than maybe we all have and wanted with this signing.”
