Arsenal is set to miss out on another attacking target

Darwin Nunez has been on Arsenal’s radar in recent weeks as they plot to sign a top striker in the summer.

Mikel Arteta’s rebuild is at a stage where the club needs a striker who can score regularly.

With over 30 goals in all competitions this season, Nunez looks like an overwhelming favourite to become the next goal machine at the Emirates.

The Uruguayan has been scoring for fun at Benfica this season and a move to Arsenal could be the next best step for him.

However, the Gunners are facing serious competition from several other European clubs for his signature and they might miss out on signing him.

Mundo Deportivo claims the favourite to land him now is Atletico de Madrid and many factors favour them.

The Spanish side has a good relationship with his present club, Benfica and it also has a pleasant history of strikers from his country.

From Diego Forlan to Luis Suarez, strikers from Uruguay have thrived at the Madrid club and he would want to be the next.

Just Arsenal Opinion

This feels like another failed pursuit, just as we missed out on a move for Dusan Vlahovic.

Sadly, some of the best European talents don’t want to join us now, but that will change soon if we finally break into the top four.

With Champions League football, it would spoil us for the choice of which players to sign.

  1. Sadly they probably see every striker struggle to score under Artetaball. I think the system Arteta prefers is not beneficial to a lone striker up top.

    I believe this can change, but it will require Arteta to have a serious rethink and change of tactics. Too much depends on creativity from the wings, and not enough through the middle. Also requiring the striker to sit back and link up play to create chances on the wings is an issue.

    All is not lost, but Arteta has to change and adapt to take this club further. Currently he looks like he is lacking ideas and any plan other than his plan A.

  2. I don’t understand why we not even trying to get raul Jimenez, he is strong and skillful and a good scorer as well. I feel it’ll be perfect

  3. I strongly believe the gaffer wants to play a 4 3 3 system.

    It’s this formation where he uses four defenders, made up of two center backs and two full backs .
    Now this is behind a midfield of three, where he some time use Partey depeer as the single pivot and Odegaard and Xhaka slightly advanced foward on either side.

    Up front is composed of two wide attackers in Saka and Martinelli and Laca as a single center foward in the middle.

    Now Martinelli and Saka has been effective in isolating opposition full backs and attacking in one on one situation, either working around the outside of their opponents to cross or cutting inside to combine.

    What we are locking is that deadly center forward, occupying the space and to create havoc, we are lacking again of that ball carrying mobile midfielder general on the left to bump forward.

    So the players are not there to consistently man this system effectively, it only happens in parts

    A player like Osimhen would take Saka on a different level as opposition, will have to focus on him as incoming balls stick to his feet like glue

  4. As expected, lots of link to no avail. Arsenal fans should not be raising their expectations too high,as more than not, Edu’s incompetence and poor negotiations skills will continue to disappoint us in the transfer market. The fight between Edu and Arteta is the problem, as they lack cooperation on the sense of direction the club needs. There isn’t any plan ,as they have lost it. Arsenal deserves better than Edu. Knowing your needs, identifying the personnel(s) and concluding deals expediently is too much for him , especially if ……….

  5. How do Liverpool buy wonderful players at cheap amounts with no competition for this players,

    Must Arsenal make noise on our prospects?
    Must we buy the player wanted by all?
    There are a 1001 players out there with great skills to become the next best thing,

    I just think Edu isn’t right for the job.
