Arsenal are looking to make a sensational last-gasp summer move for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, according to reports.
The Gunners have been looking for the ideal striker target this summer with the Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen among the names linked.
Now according to football365.com, the Gunners are being linked with a move for Nunez with the Uruguay international coming in for some criticism since his move to Anfield.
Nunez became the Reds most expensive signing of all time when he swapped Benfica for Liverpool in the summer of 2022 with the 25-year-old scoring 33 goals in 97 appearances for the Merseysiders.
And reports in Spain claim that Arsenal are now looking to ‘shake up the transfer market’ with a ‘bombshell’ move for the Liverpool striker before Friday’s deadline.
Nunez is yet to start for Liverpool in their first two Premier League matches under Arne Slot and now Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is ‘willing to take advantage of this uncertainty’ with the Gunners resuming ‘their interest they already showed in Nunez when he was at Benfica’.
Liverpool ‘would demand a sum greater than £73m, Arsenal’s ambition to strengthen their attack could lead them to take the decisive step before the market closes’.
