Liverpool Legend Claims Arsenal Must Sign Nunez to Compete for Title

Liverpool: Former Liverpool player Dietmar Hamann thinks Arsenal needs to sign Darwin Nunez if they want a shot at the Premier League title. He believes the Gunners are currently Liverpool’s biggest competition, but their recent form has been shaky. They’ve already been knocked out of the FA Cup and face a tough challenge in the Carabao Cup after losing the first leg to Newcastle.

With six points between them and Liverpool, Arsenal has a lot to do, especially with a game in hand for their rivals. Hamann points out that Arsenal’s struggles in front of goal are a big issue, especially with injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. He thinks Nunez could really change things for them, even though the Liverpool striker has had his own issues scoring this season.

Hamann argues that without a strong center forward, Arsenal’s chances of winning anything are slim. He believes Nunez’s physical presence could open up space for players like Saka and Martinelli to shine. He mentions that while Nunez has potential, he hasn’t quite lived up to expectations at Liverpool, especially when it comes to finishing.

Despite some fans growing impatient with Nunez, Hamann sees room for improvement. He compares him to legendary finishers like Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen, noting that Nunez tends to miss easier chances. He appreciates Nunez’s ability to create plays but feels the hefty price tag of £85 million was too much for what he’s delivered so far.
