Nunez – Eze – Rodrygo feature in Arsenal news now

Here is a roundup of the top Arsenal news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews that we think you guys could have missed today…

South American football expert Tim Vickery has been on Sky Sports News discussing ARSENAL target Rodrygo, and whether or not the attacker will leave Real Madrid this summer transfer window

Rodrygo scored 13 goals and provided over 10 assists in over 50 appearances last season, but Tension has been building between the Brazilian and Real with the winger unhappy with his role in the team with his relationship with his teammates deteriorating significantly.

According to recent reports, Madrid could be willing to part ways with the Brazilian forward if a substantial offer arrives. The ultimate decision, however, will rest with both Rodrygo and new head coach Xabi Alonso.

There were even claims that he had fallen down the pecking order at the Bernabeu, plus he was allegedly angry that the team was being built around Kylian Mbappe – not Vinicius Jr and himself.

However – Rodrygo is now set to stay in Madrid and wants to convince Xabi Alonso he is still committed to the club.

But according to Vickery, even though Rodrygo wants to stay at Madrid, he may seek a transfer move this summer: “Let’s watch this space over the next few weeks because this could be interesting.

“Rodrygo has the Real Madrid dilemma that it’s hard for players to be top dog there and he’s so talented – almost absurdly talented.

“But someone has to do the hard yards and Jude Bellingham said last year that he considered Rodrygo the most talented of all of them and the one who has to sacrifice himself the most for the side.

“Where does Xabi Alonso see him? Because he can play anywhere across the front line. He didn’t use him very much in the Club World Cup and when he did, it was wide right.

“We know Rodrygo doesn’t want to play wide right. He would far prefer a free role. Now what we understand is that he’s very keen on staying at Real Madrid and proving that he can be a key part of that side.

“Over the next two weeks , if that doesn’t happen, then he might start looking around and what an asset he would be.

“It’s a waste to have him as a bit-part player, filling in spaces or playing wide on the right. You want him roaming free, dropping his little bombs all around the opposing goal.”

EZE WOULD BE AMAZING SIGNING

Gunners icon Ray Parlour has opened up and claimed that Eberechi Eze would be an amazing signing for ARSENAL this transfer window, as the Premier League giants continue to be linked with the attacker.

Arsenal have joined Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea in spending some big money this transfer window to improve the squad enough to keep up their challenge for that Premier League title next season.

Mikel Arteta has added to pretty much every aspect of the squad and spent over £200 million on new players, but his business may not be done yet as it has been constantly reported that the Gunners are still keen on Eze.

Over the past few seasons, Eze has really improved and showed that he is now ready to make that next step in his career, with his performances also catching the eyes of Liverpool, Man United and Tottenham.

Now, amid all the speculation, and According to Parlour, Eze would be a ‘great addition’ to Mikel Arteta’s squad and already ‘looks like an Arsenal player’: ‘He has excelled at Palace, he’s now in the England set-up and he looks like an Arsenal player,’ the three-time Premier League winner added.

‘He is exciting to watch, got a good head on his shoulders and would excite the crowd with the way he glides with the ball.

‘I think he would be a great addition to the squad, for sure.’

IcFootballnews Says…

ARSENAL have already shown that they will spend money on players they really wants, they have pretty much signed all their top targets this summer window. So if they really want to add Eze to the side, then they will.

But even though a move to Arsenal would be amazing, Eze would be joining to keep the bench warmer more often than he does at Palace.

NUNEZ CLAIM MADE

ARSENAL have been told they missed a trick by not considering a move for Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez this summer, as the Reds striker is now making the move to Saudi Arabia after the Merseysiders agreed to let him leave.

Nunez has been in the headlines alot over the past few weeks, as there has been constant speculation that he is a player that Arne Slot is ready to let leave, but not many offers actually arrived for the forward.

However – The Uruguayan looks set to leave Liverpool this summer to join Al-Hilal for an initial £46m fee after the Reds brought in Hugo Ekitike earlier in the window, But Dean Saunders believes the 26-year-old could well have been worth a gamble for the likes of Arsenal or Man United, despite finishing last season with just five league goals.

‘Nunez, he’s up for grabs. Would you rather not have Nunez than Sesko and Gyokeres?’ Saunders told talkSPORT.

‘They paid a lot of money for them, and I thought, ‘he’s up for grabs.’ I would take a chance on him.

Saunders added: ‘He’s got every finish in his locker, both feet, headers, he’s gone round the keeper, he’s slotted the keeper, he’s chipped the keeper, he’s scored from distance.

‘We’ve seen him do every finish, but somehow he manages to conjure up a miss – I don’t know how many times he hit the post and the crossbar last season.

‘There’s definitely a player in there, you look at him and think, ‘what a handful he is to play against.’

‘He scored a lot of goals for Benfica in his second season and a couple of seasons ago he got 20-odd for Liverpool.

‘I wouldn’t be surprised if Nunez goes somewhere else and scores 20 goals next season.’
