Liverpool Player Wanted By Arsenal: Should The Reds Sell Him? | OneFootball

Liverpool suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the final of the EFL Cup against Newcastle United and were also knocked out by PSG from the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. They have some tough decisions to make in the summer transfer window to strengthen their squad. They are the favourites to win the Premier League title, with Arsenal in the second position in the points table.

Arsenal want to sign Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez

They must sign a striker who can consistently score goals, given that Darwin Nunez has failed to do so for Liverpool this season. So, he might be shipped off in the summer transfer window and Fichajes has reported that Arsenal are one of the sides that are interested in Nunez. The Gunners are in need of a striker because Gabriel Jesus has failed to perform for the side and they have also faced injury problems in the attack.

Liverpool are expected to start discussions with Arsenal soon regarding the sale of the Uruguayan. When on song, Nunez is a force of nature. He’s raw, chaotic, and thrilling. His speed tears defenses apart—blink, and he’s gone. The Uruguayan striker’s physicality is unreal; he bullies defenders off the ball. Finishing? Hit or miss—brilliant one day, wild the next.

He’s relentless, always chasing, pressing, fighting. Núñez pops up in the box, a magnet for chances. His work rate is insane—never stops running. Dribbling’s decent, but decision-making can falter. He’s unpredictable, a rollercoaster of highs and lows. Love him or not, Nunez brings energy and edge—a striker who’s all heart and hustle.

He has scored 5 goals in 23 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. Overall, the striker’s goals scored per 90 minutes are 0.47. Moreover, Darwin Nunez’s total G/A (goals + assists) is 7 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.65 per 90 minutes. His non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.48.

Is it a good move for the Reds?

Arsenal eyeing Darwin Nunez? Liverpool open to selling? Good call. He’s electric but inconsistent—misses too many sitters. The Reds need a reliable scorer, not a gamble. Cashing in could fund a proven striker. Bad move? Maybe if he explodes elsewhere—his potential’s huge. Still, from Liverpool’s view, it’s smart. Cut losses on a patchy finisher. Get the money; reinvest wisely. Arsenal can take the risk. Liverpool shouldn’t wait longer.
