This summer's WILDEST transfer rumour as Liverpool striker linked with Premier League rivals

Darwin Nunez has been linked with a shock move to Premier League rivals Arsenal.

The rumour caught on on Tuesday night that Darwin Nunez could complete a later summer move to Mikel Arteta's side, with the Uruguayan allegedly keen to move to London and work under the Spaniard.

The North London side have been seeking for a striker all summer and have been heavily linked to the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen before now being rumoured to eyeing up a sensational swoop for Liverpool's number nine.

It isn't unusual seeing Nunez rumoured with a move away from Anfield. The Uruguayan was linked with a move to Chelsea last season, with talks of a move to Jose Mourinho's Fenerbache also circulating this summer.

Despite Federico Chiesa's move to Liverpool nearing completion, an Anfield departure for Darwin Nunez remains as unlikely as ever, with Arne Slot ready to boast an attack of six outstanding talents.

ARSENAL FANS REACT TO DARWIN NUNEZ RUMOUR

In the light of one of the summer's wildest rumours, Arsenal fans indicated they aren't against the Uruguayan signing for Mikel Arteta's side.

His lack of end-product in periods of his Liverpool career has not put off the Gunners' supporters from a transfer with his movement, physical profile and is energy off the ball being attributes that would bring great value to the London club.

ARNE SLOT COULD GET THE BEST OUT OF DARWIN NUNEZ

Earlier this year, Liverpool indicated they have no plans to offload Nunez this summer despite a difficult campaign last year.

The Uruguayan will be the first to hope that Arne Slot can replicate what he did with Santiago Gimenez at Feyenoord, and get the best out of Nunez in Liverpool's side.

Slot's guidance helped improve Gimenez' productivity in front of goal, which is something the striker lacked despite being a massive talent. Does that sound familiar to a certain Liverpool forward?

The Dutchman's man management skills could be vital in developing Nunez into one of the Premier League's most lethal strikers, something everyone knows he has the potential to be, with Nunez showing glimpses of it thus far in his Liverpool career.
