Arsenal and Chelsea have been handed a major boost to their hopes of signing Darwin Nunez, with Manchester United reportedly eyeing alternatives. The Benfica striker has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League over recent months.
The Gunners emerged as potential contenders for his services over recent months, with Mikel Arteta understandably keen to add to their attacking options ahead of next season. Elsewhere, The Athletic have reported that Thomas Tuchel ’s Chelsea are one of the Premier League sides ‘leading the race’ for the striker.
The London duo might be set to be presented with a wonderful opportunity to secure the services of the former Almeria man, however, with the Red Devils already looking at potential alternatives should their pursuit of Nunez fail. According to Fabrizio Romano, the prospect of signing Everton forward Richarlison has been ‘discussed internally’.
