Arsenal are reportedly preparing a bold move to sign Darwin Núñez from Liverpool, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
Núñez, who joined Liverpool in 2022 for a hefty fee, has collected a Carabao Cup and a Community Shield but remains underwhelming overall. In 135 appearances, he has scored 40 goals and registered 22 assists—a tally viewed as a disappointment for the investment Liverpool made.
Once a Klopp-era key man, Núñez has slipped down the pecking order under Arne Slot. He missed a crucial penalty in Liverpool’s Champions League exit at PSV, underscoring his inconsistency.
Now Arsenal’s interest is more than curiosity—Arteta sees in Núñez a blend of physicality and raw attacking power that fits the Gunners’ blueprint.
No formal offer yet—not yet. But summer could be the turning point.
Transfermarkt values Núñez at approximately £55 million with more than three years left on his contract, which gives Liverpool pricing leverage. Arsenal would need to weigh the cost of upgrading their forward line against the uncertainty of his finishing.
Núñez stands at six-foot-two—a dynamic, hardworking presence. Yet composure in front of goal remains erratic. Big goals shadowed by big misses.
Arsenal need a reliable striker to finally claim the Premier League crown. Núñez has the physique, the pace, the potential—but not yet the consistency.
Still, this plot could turn into purpose—with Arteta’s backing, and Liverpool ready to cash in.
It’s not just about today. It’s about reshaping tomorrow.
