We 'signed' Darwin Nunez for Arsenal with stunning results for Man Utd transfer target

Arsenal are reportedly interested in exciting young prospect Darwin Nunez, with Mikel Arteta keen to strengthen his attacking options.

The Gunners are expected to have a busy summer with a striker or two almost certain to join the club, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's departure in January still yet to be addressed. Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah also face uncertain futures at the Emirates, with both players' contracts set to expire this summer.

Nunez has been linked with a number of top clubs across Europe and the 22-year-old looks set to leave Benfica this summer. Nunez has shown his ability to score at an elite level, bagging six goals in the Champions League this season, with his tally at 32 in 37 appearances across all competitions.

So, if Nunez was to make the move to Arsenal in the summer, what sort of impact could he have at the Emirates Stadium? Could the Uruguayan striker help Arsenal win a trophy next season? We simulated the 2022/23 season with Nunez in Arsenal's squad and this is what happened.

To set up this simulation, we used the Football Manager 2022 editor to arrange for Nunez to join Arsenal at the start of the 2022/23 season, using FM22 to run the simulation. This is what Nunez's in-game profile looks like on FM22.

The 22-year-old's attributes highlight his ability to hold up the ball when required, as well as run the channels and get in behind defences with his brilliant Pace (16/20) and Acceleration (17), along with great Strength (15) and Jumping Reach (15). Nunez has brilliant technical attributes for a young striker with plenty of potential to become one of Europe's elite attackers, whilst his mental attributes show he has everything needed to excel in any tactical system.
