Arsenal have reportedly been advised to sign Liverpool forward, Darwin Nunez in order to solve their striking issue.
Despite the Reds winning the Premier League, the 25-year-old Uruguay international is likely to leave Anfield in the coming months after making a minimal return in front of goal this season.
Middle Eastern clubs had previously expressed interest in Nunez, and Italian teams AC Milan and Napoli have also expressed interest.
Following the Gunners’ second-place finish to Liverpool last season, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, is now being urged to consider a move for Nunez.

Nunez might score 25 goals for Arsenal next season, according to former Liverpool forward Dean Saunders.
Nunez, who only scored seven goals in all competitions during his most recent campaign, would need to significantly improve in order to reach such a goal total.
Speaking on talkSPORT as reported by Liverpool Echo, Saunders said: “Is there any fan out there that would be disappointed if their club was linked with Nunez? He’s not got enough goals for Liverpool, but I think we all look at him with the same eyes.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he went to Arsenal and scored 25 goals. The people they’ve got lined up, they’re all gambles. At least he’s played in the Premier League for three or four years, and you know what you’re going to get.
“He works his socks off, even if he doesn’t score, so he’s not a passenger. That’s why the Liverpool fans like him.”
