Charlie Austin makes blunt Darwin Nunez admission after £85m Liverpool transfer

Former Premier League striker Charlie Austin believes Darwin Nunez will have to 'hit the ground running' if Liverpool are to win the Premier League title this season.

Nunez completed his move from Benfica earlier in June for an initial fee of £64m, but that could reach a club-record £85m if add-ons are met. The 23-year-old Uruguay international arrives as a replacement for Sadio Mane, who has completed a transfer to Bayern Munich.

Liverpool's title rivals Manchester City have also been busy bolstering their attacking options. City, who pipped the Reds to the title by one point last season, have signed Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.
