Liverpool fans stunned after 37-goal star tipped for stunning move

Dietmar Hamann has backed Liverpool star Darwin Nunez to totally transform that Arsenal attack if the Gunners managed to secure the services of the Anfield striker.

Liverpool fans have been underwhelmed by Nunez’s contributions, with the Uruguay international scoring 37 goals in 122 appearances for the Reds, and just two league goals this season.

That has led to alot of speculation in the media that he is one player that Arne Slot would be open to letting go, which has led to some stunning reports that Arsenal may be interested in getting some kind of transfer deal done.

‘When Darwin Nunez turned the game around against Newcastle last season I thought this is it now and that he had finally arrived, but that hasn’t been the case,’ ex-Liverpool midfielder Hamann told BestOffShoreSportsbooks.

‘When you look at Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen, they were both natural finishers, Nunez is clearly not.

‘You can improve your finishing but not to the level of someone like Fowler or Owen who could sniff out a chance and you just knew they were going to score.

‘He scores the hard chances and misses the easy ones. I like him as a player but you have to put the ball in the net and more often than not he isn’t doing that.

‘If he was a better finisher he could be the best player in the world because at times he is unplayable and he brings others into play. Having said that, for £85m you have to say he was too expensive.’

‘I can’t see Arsenal winning anything without a centre forward.

‘You could maybe win a cup with a bit of luck and you can win the Champions League without being the best team, but in the Premier League you need to be the best and without a centre-forward there are few teams in history to have won that way.

‘You can look at Pep Guardiola’s teams who had the best wingers in the world or teams with the likes of Neymar or Lionel Messi, but Arsenal need a presence.

‘Arsenal would be a transformed team with Darwin Nunez up front. Someone with that physical presence who can stretch teams and create space.

‘Imagine the damage that Bukayo Saka or Gabriel Martinelli could do if Nunez was stretching teams with his pace and occupying defenders. It would change the whole dynamic of the team.

‘Kai Havertz might go in behind but in one or two steps he’s already caught by the defenders, Arsenal need a quick centre forward to give them another option.

‘I think their struggles going forward are down to a lack of physical presence.’
