Nunez failed to convert a crucial chance to clinch victory against Aston Villa on Wednesday, firing over the bar from close range.

The miss proved to be costly as Villa managed to hold Arne Slot's side to a 2-2 draw.

Yet, despite his reputation for often spurning chances, Hamann thinks he would be perfect for Mikel Arteta.

Speaking on behalf of Prime Casino, Hamann said: "I think Nunez would be gold for Arsenal, because I think if you've got somebody up top who bullies defenders, who draws defenders in, he always gets the attention of two or three defenders.

"Obviously, he's a big unit.

I think even a Nunez would be a brilliant addition to the squad, but it's too late for that now and they have to make do with what they have."

Post-match, Slot said: "I can accept every miss, especially from a player who scored two important goals against Brentford.

"What is harder for me to accept is the behaviour after that chance.

I will tell him he can miss a chance but cannot miss out on work rate.

That is the life of a striker, he can miss, he can score, no problem at all.

"It's part of the job that you sometimes miss when people expect you to score, but it is not part to slow down the work rate and that is something we will talk about."
