Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
According to a report via Fichajes, the player is a surprise target for Premier League rivals Arsenal who are looking to improve their attacking unit. However, Liverpool are not prepared to let the 25-year-old attacker leave the club and they will demand a premium for his services if Arsenal come calling.
The report states that Liverpool value the player between €110-120 million. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to pay that kind of money for the player.
Nunez has done reasonably well for Liverpool since joining the club from Benfica. He managed to score 18 goals and picked up 13 assists last season. Despite that, he has attracted a lot of criticism because of his mediocre finishing ability. The Uruguayan international tends to miss big chances and that has cost Liverpool at times.
Should Liverpool invest in another striker?
Liverpool need to bring in a more reliable finisher if they want to win major trophies. However, Nunez remains a quality player and letting him leave this late in the window would be a disastrous decision. Liverpool will struggle to bring a quality replacement for him before Friday’s deadline. In addition to that, it seems highly unlikely that any club would be willing to match their demands for the South American attacker.
It would be ideal for Liverpool to keep the faith in the player for now and wait for him to improve his finishing abilities. His overall footballing acumen has been outstanding and there is no doubt that he could develop into a world class forward in the near future.
It will be interesting to see if the 25-year-old can sort out his finishing issues and fulfil his tremendous potential in the coming seasons.
Liverpool should not sell Darwin Nunez.he is a very good player.he is being played out of position.
He will come good one day as Salah did not play well for Chelsea but got stronger and now he’s a powerful striker he might need one more year to come down to get used to all those opportunities chances. Give him time
Darwin is a good striker who can become excellent…I think his brain moves faster than his body, and he needs to be calmed down (thru a sports psychologist perhaps?)…if he can calm down to 4th gear from his current 5th he will be a better finisher…same goes for Diaz…look at Mo and Jota…both are calm and good finishers.
Yes that,s he,s problem if we can get near that price tag, then great because we need someone like Harland up front for us someone who can be seifless but accurate in getting goals only way to compete, with city.
