3 reasons why Darwin Nunez should avoid leaving Liverpool for Arsenal

Darwin Nunez has attracted a lot of speculation in the ongoing transfer window, suggesting that he might be unsettled and contemplating a move away from Liverpool.

With reports suggesting interest from other clubs, Premier League rivals Arsenal have recently been heavily linked with the Uruguayan striker as the transfer deadline approaches.

However, transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano has already ruled out any potential move, stating there is “absolutely nothing” happening between Liverpool and Arsenal and effectively dismissing any further speculations.

While it seems Nunez is content at Liverpool and is focused on his future with the club, we take a look at three possible reasons why the decision to snub a move away from Anfield can benefit the striker.

Fits in Arne Slot’s football philosophy

Arne Slot likes his team to press high and win the ball back close to goal and this is exactly where Nunez can come in handy in the system.

He is full of energy, always on the move, keeping his opponents on their toes. His relentless running, constant pressing, and tireless effort create a whirlwind of confusion for defenders.

Mohammed Salah entering his final year of contract

The Egyptian maestro is entering the final year of his contract with Liverpool and he has yet to sign a new deal. The Reds will therefore be interested in having a viable alternative as an immediate cover who can take over the scoring responsibilities in case Salah decides to depart in the near future.

Support of fans and management

Although he has seen limited playing time this season – only 18 minutes – sources close to Nunez report that the striker is adapting well under the leadership of new manager Arne Slot.

Since joining Liverpool, the Uruguayan has mostly been a success, scoring important goals in crucial moments and winning over the Kop with his unpredictable and disruptive style of play as a center forward.
