Leonel Jorge Núñez (born 13 October 1984) is an Argentine former footballer who last played as a forward for Nueva Chicago.
His goals helped Argentinos Juniors move away from the bottom four in the Primera División relegation table for the first time in nearly three years.
The young striker attracted a lot of attention from many big European clubs during his time in Argentina due to his prolific goal-scoring ratio.
Núñez recorded his first league goal, essentially a decider, shortly afterwards in the game against OFI Crete.
He made his debut against Selangor FA by replacing Nurul Azwan Roya when Johor Darul Takzim trailed by 1–0 in the second leg of Malaysia FA Cup quarter-final and subsequently helped Johor DT by scoring 2 goals to complete the comeback to bring the match to a penalty shootout.
