Liverpool have been in sensational form this season, holding a commanding 15-point lead over Arsenal in the Premier League title race. They were among the most in-form teams in both domestic and European competitions until their heartbreaking Round of 16 exit against PSG at Anfield in the UEFA Champions League. However, given the club’s stature and winning mentality, the Reds will undoubtedly aim for further success. As a result, the upcoming summer transfer window could be a pivotal period for Arne Slot’s side.
The Reds might also be losing some players who have not managed to put up consistent performances in the ongoing season. Darwin Nunez, the striker of the Reds, might be one such candidate who might be on his way out of the club after not being able to put up consistent performances for the side. Moreover, he also missed his penalty in the recent shoot-out against PSG, which was one of the reasons behind his club’s knockout from the Champions League.
Mikel Arteta wants Arsenal to sign Darwin Nunez from Liverpool
Spanish news outlet Fichajes, as relayed by Caught Offside, has reported that Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, has asked his club to sign the out-of-favour Liverpool striker in the summer transfer window. The Gunners are also looking for a prolific goalscorer who can ease the burden on Bukayo Saka.
Mikel Arteta wants Arsenal to sign Darwin Nunez from Liverpool
Nunez has scored five goals in 23 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season and he has a G/A of seven in the ongoing season. He is a striker who brings chaos and energy to the pitch. Nunez’s standout trait is his explosive pace, allowing him to burst past defenders and stretch play with relentless runs in behind.
The Uruguayan boasts a formidable physical presence, excelling in aerial duels and showing fearless aggression in challenges. His unpredictable movement, darting into channels or dropping deep to link play, makes him a nightmare for defenders to mark on his best days. While Nunez’s finishing can be inconsistent, his relentless work rate and tireless pressing set him apart. His raw potential is evident in his ability to create space and unsettle opponents, though achieving greater consistency remains his next big step.

Will the move go through?
However, don’t think the move might be successful or Liverpool would accept it. The Reds might not want their player to go to their direct rival in the Premier League, even though they want to sell him in the summer. Nunez has been given enough opportunities at Anfield but despite some standout moments, he has often failed to deliver on a consistent basis.
It will not come as a shock if Liverpool let the striker leave in the summer but we will be surprised if he is allowed to join a direct rival. After all, what exactly are they smoking there at the Emirates?
