Chelsea have been linked with a move for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez in the summer, following a fantastic year for the forward. The Uruguayan has become one of the names to look out for in the transfer window, with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United eyeing the 22-year-old for the future.

It’s little surprise either, given his 24 goals in 24 league appearances this season, as well as competing on the Champions League stage with five goals in nine appearances. His most recent strike in the competition came against Liverpool, which led to Jurgen Klopp praising his ability.

The German claimed he will have a “big career” ahead of him, stating in his pre-match press conference: “He played in front of me battling against Konate. He was calm for the finish. He is good, really good. If he stays healthy, he has a big career ahead of him.”

It’s a glowing endorsement from a manager who clearly has an eye for talent. If the Blues were to try and fit him into Thomas Tuchel ’s side, they would have to pay a hefty fee though.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Nunez is set to leave Benfica for roughly €80million (£67million) this summer. While it could be worth it to some, Tuchel may not need to splash out to sign the forward.
