Peter Crouch and Michael Owen have both been waxing lyrical about the abilities of Darwin Nunez amid Arsenal’s reported transfer interest. The Gunners have been linked with a move for the Uruguayan for some time, with Mikel Arteta understood to be keen on adding to his forward options ahead of next season.
Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are both out of contract this summer, with each expected to wave goodbye to the Emirates Stadium. That would leave Arsenal without a recognised senior striker before the 2022/23 campaign.
Nunez has been noted as a potential candidate to fill that vacancy after he has plundered 27 goals in all competitions for Benfica this term. It is suggested that they could have competition for his services, with Manchester United and West Ham United having also emerged as admirers.
