The former Liverpool forward appears poised to depart Saudi outfit Al-Hilal after just one season with the club.He's believed to be eager for a Premier League comeback, with several clubs already being linked with a potential switch. Should he prove willing to do so, it appears there could be competition for his services.Chelsea icon Marcel Desailly has previously urged the Blues to pursue the former Liverpool man, and has now reiterated his appeal, explaining why things didn't work out for him at Anfield.Speaking to FootItalia, Desailly said: "I would actually recommend Nunez for Chelsea."He's a very good player, a smart player – he just needs the right environment to perform.

That's what happened to Nunez at Liverpool. He's at Al-Hilal now and has scored around six goals in 16 matches – not bad at all."I'm pleased to see him wanting to come back to European football – it shows money isn't everything.

He needs to be surrounded by established, confident players who know they're going to play every weekend and who will give him the ball on the first intention."That's the small detail – when he makes a run, he needs to get the ball immediately. But he's a quality player, and he's still young enough."The 26-year-old has netted nine times in 24 outings across all competitions for Al-Hilal this campaign.
