The Premier League title race seems to be slipping away from Arsenal, as they have fallen behind their competitors. In order to turn things around, there have been suggestions that they should make a bold move and sign Liverpool's striker, Darwin Nunez. After three consecutive games without a win, the Gunners find themselves in fourth place and a troubling nine points behind the league leaders, Liverpool. While German sensation Kai Havertz impressed in the beginning of the season, he has only managed to score one goal in the last seven games across all competitions. To add to their attacking struggles, Gabriel Jesus has also been inconsistent, leading many to believe that the club should make a marquee signing in the upcoming January transfer window to reinvigorate their title hopes.
One person who has made this suggestion is former Arsenal player Jeremie Aliadiere, who was part of the famous invincible team. He boldly stated that his former club should consider signing mercurial Liverpool striker, Darwin Nunez, in order to add some spark to their front line. Nunez, who joined Liverpool in 2022 for a whopping £64 million from Benfica, has only managed to score two goals in the league so far this season and has struggled to secure a consistent starting spot under manager Arne Slot.
"I know he is at Liverpool, but I am a huge fan of Darwin Nunez," Aliadiere shared with Football365. "I absolutely love his work ethic, his runs, and his determination. I wish we had a player like him at Arsenal. I remember there were talks about him joining us in the summer, and that got me really excited. I would love to see him in an Arsenal jersey."
Aliadiere believes that Nunez's constant pressure on defenders, his runs behind the defense, and his contribution to the team's overall play make him a valuable asset. "Even if he doesn't score, his hard work benefits the team, and the other players reap the rewards," he said. Nunez may not be the most clinical finisher, but for Aliadiere, his attitude and effort make up for it.
When asked about Arsenal's current attacking options, Aliadiere expressed his doubts about Havertz's ability to play as a natural number nine, despite his impressive performances so far. "Over the course of a full season, with the added pressure of Champions League and Premier League games, we have seen that it can be difficult for him," Aliadiere said. As for Jesus, he believes the Brazilian is not a traditional striker and prefers to be involved in the build-up play rather than being the main goal scorer. "I'm not sure that is the solution," Aliadiere added.
In conclusion, Aliadiere believes that Nunez could be the missing piece in Arsenal's attacking puzzle and could bring a much-needed boost to their title hopes. His hard work, determination, and ability to stretch defenses would make him a valuable addition to the team. Only time will tell if Arsenal will make a move for the Liverpool striker, but for now, fans can only hope for a turnaround in their current form.
