Two Premier League teams have joined in the bidding to sign Darwin Nunez this summer, according to reports. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to both Arsenal and Chelsea in the upcoming transfer window.
For the Gunners, it comes ahead of a market in which signing a striker appears to be a priority following Alexandre Lacazette ’s exit. Discussing the need for a goal scorer, Mikel Arteta said: “He puts the ball in the net – that’s priority number one. Goal threat. Any successful team needs enough goal threat in the squad. Without it, you have nothing.”
As for the Blues, their desire for a forward to score consistently was shown throughout the previous campaign. That is despite Romelu Lukaku making the club-record switch back to Stamford Bridge.
