The two big money front men are expected to lead the line for the respective Premier League giants this season.

But have the clubs missed an even better signing that was already in front of them in the top flight?

Dean Saunders from Talksport believes this and claims that a change for Darwin Nunez from Liverpool should have been done instead.

Nunez has long been overturned this summer to leave ANFELD, but United and Arsenal were never connected to the Uruguayan – and Saunders believe that they missed a trick that was not for him.

Saunders said in the sports bar and said, “Nunez, he is to be won. Would you prefer Nunez than Sesko and Gyoker?

“You paid a lot of money for you and I thought: ‘He is to be won.’ I would take a chance for him.

Saunders added: “He has every finish in his locker, both feet, header, he went around the goalkeeper, he beat the goalkeeper, he broke off the Keeder, he scored a goal from a distance.

“We saw how he made every finish, but somehow he manages to conjure up a failure – I don’t know how often he hit the post last season and the cross bar.

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

“He scored many goals for Benfica in his second season and a few seasons ago he has 20 years old for Liverpool.

“I would not be surprised if Nunez was going somewhere else and scored 20 goals next season.

“You could get it cheap, you wouldn’t pay him 90 million pounds, but you could get him for £ 40 million.”

Nunez may be highly rated by Saunders, but the striker of Liverpool scored fewer goals than sesco and Gyokoker last season.

The 26-year-old, who only takes five times in the Premier League for Liverpool under Arne Slot.

Sesko scored 13 times in the Bundesliga, while Gyokoker scored astonishing 39 goals in Liga Portugal in the last term in 33 games.

Gyokeres’ Tally has been less than Nunez since he came to the Reds for £ 85 million in 2022.

It seems that Nunez can no longer be won because his outcome of Liverpool is approaching.

He takes a change of £ 42 million to the Saudi side Al Hilal with advanced conversations, understands Talksport.

Al Hilal has seen Nunez all summer and they chose their first formal approach for him after the World Club World Championship.

The Uruguay International will leave Liverpool after achieving 40 goals in 143 appearances for the club.

He also made 26 templates available in Anfield in his three years and won the Premier League, the Carabao Cup and the Community Shield.

You will now hope that Sesko and Gyokoker will survive the Nunez career in England …

Sesko to man united latest

You have not yet signed Sesko over the line because you are looking for a new striker like Arsenal with Gyokoker.

But a deal is just ahead of the Club and RB Leipzig, with the Slovenian already clear that he wants Old Trafford.

There was a continued fight between United and Newcastle around the 6 “5” front man.

Newcastle had accepted an offer for Sesko, the Red Devils have now collapsed and are to take the move.

Ruben Amorim has already brought Bryan Mbuemo from Brentford and Matheus Cunha from Wölfen to strengthen his attack.

And Sesko could face this duo if he should go through the Red Devils.
