Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Shock Darwin Nunez rumour, Gunners ANNOUNCE Mikel Merino, Palace close in on £30m Nketiah

MIKEL MERINO has been ANNOUNCED as an Arsenal player – and now the Gunners are looking to add a striker before deadline day.

Sensational reports on Wednesday morning claim that Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is one target for the No 9 position, given that the Gunners were interested before he moved to Anfield in 2022.

Elsewhere, Eddie Nketiah‘s proposed £30million move to Nottingham Forest has broken down, but Crystal Palace are now said to have entered the race for the striker and a deal is close.
