Liverpool have signed Darwin Nunez. Liverpool have wanted a replacement for Sadio Mane ever since he announced his departure. Moreover, Liverpool required a player who could rival Luis Diaz to play the central role. Both players will have a key place in the squad moving on to the next season.
Jurgen Klopp gives his views
Jurgen Klopp is very excited about the opportunity to manage Nunez and has spoken about where he fits in the team.
“This is super news, really super news, I’m very grateful to everyone at the club for making it happen. We’ve shown decisiveness and ambition in equal measure. Darwin is a wonderful player; already really good but so much potential to get even better. That’s why it’s so exciting, to be honest. His age, his desire, his hunger to be even better than he currently is. His belief in our project and what we are looking to do as a club.
Darwin is a wonderful player; already really good but so much potential to get even better. That’s why it’s so exciting, to be honest. His age, his desire, his hunger to be even better than he currently is. His belief in our project and what we are looking to do as a club.
He has all the pieces we look for. He can set a tempo, he brings energy, he can threaten space from central and wide areas, He is aggressive and dynamic with his movement, He plays without fear, he’s powerful. I know he will excite our supporters.
It’s important we all recognise we are getting a ‘work in progress’ with Darwin. He recognises that himself, for sure. I love how much focus and humility he has.
We have wonderful attacking options already and he becomes part of that now. So there is no pressure on him at all. He signs for a very long time and we intend to nurture his talent and see it grow.
He’s the latest addition to the wonderful LFC family and I’m sure our supporters will make him feel at home from the first moment he has the Liver bird on his chest.”
