Former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is reportedly seeking a move back to England after being axed by Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.
The Uruguayan international’s stint in the Middle East has taken an unexpected turn for the worse following the arrival of Karim Benzema at the Riyadh-based club.
Reports suggest Nunez has been removed from Al Hilal’s registered squad, prompting his representatives to sound out potential suitors in the Premier League.
Nunez left Anfield under a cloud last year but remains a high-profile name with a significant goal-scoring pedigree.
While several clubs are in need of attacking reinforcements, his substantial wage demands and the complexity of his current contract could prove to be obstacles.
Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are among the teams tentatively linked with the 26-year-old forward.
