The competition for the services of Uruguayan Darwin Núñez, the Al Hilal striker, has ignited early after reports revealed the interest of two English Premier League clubs in signing him during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The "Team Talk" network reported that Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring the player's situation in preparation for exploring the possibility of signing him from Al Hilal.

This move comes in light of the recent developments regarding Núñez's position within the team, after he was excluded from the domestic squad by decision of coach Simone Inzaghi.

The decision to exclude came after Al-Hilal signed the French star Karim Benzema, which led to a reorganization of the offensive lineup within the team.

Nunez joined Al-Hilal last summer, coming from Liverpool, in a deal that attracted attention at the time.

With the growing interest from English clubs, the future of the Uruguayan striker remains open to several possibilities, awaiting the outcomes of the upcoming transfer market moves.
