Premier League return on the horizon for the Uruguayan?

Chelsea position themselves for Darwin Núñez
The future of Darwin Núñez could once again be written in the Premier League. After his transfer to Al-Hilal FC, the Uruguayan striker finds himself in an uncertain situation.
The restriction on the number of foreign players in Saudi Arabia has led Al-Hilal to leave Núñez off the league roster. With the arrival of Karim Benzema, competition has intensified, leaving the Uruguayan primarily available for the AFC Champions League. This situation has caught the attention of several European clubs.
Newcastle United FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC have been linked for several weeks. Now, Chelsea FC is reportedly joining the list of suitors. Núñez, 26, is said to favor a return to the Premier League if he leaves Saudi Arabia. His stint at Liverpool FC already demonstrated his potential, and several clubs may look to reignite his career.
