At Arsenal it has been said that the signing is a bit surprising Darwin Núñez, forward of Liverpool it could transform the entire dynamic of your team.

Darwin Núñez: Could he be a surprise hit for Arsenal?
Hamann has some admiration for Núñez, although the Uruguayan international is also a bit of a flawed player.
The German believes Núñez can be a handful at times, while his physical presence and pace would transform this Arsenal team.
“If he was a better finisher, he could be the best player in the world because sometimes he is unplayable and puts others into play. That said, for £85m, you have to say it was too expensive,” Hamann said of Nunez to BestOffShoreSportsbook, as quoted by the Metro.
He added: “Arsenal would be a transformed team with Darwin Núñez up front. Someone with that physical presence who can stretch teams and create space.
“Imagine the damage that Bukayo Saka or Gabriel Martinelli could do if Núñez was playing teams with his pace and occupying the defenders. It would change the whole dynamic of the team.
“Kai Havertz could go in behind, but within a step or two he’s already caught by defenders, Arsenal need a quick centre-forward to give them another option.
“I think his struggles going forward are due to the lack of physical presence.”
