Chris Sutton believes Darwin Nunez can give Liverpool the "edge" in key matches as the 22-year-old closes in on a club-record move to Anfield this summer.
It is understood the Uruguay international wants to join the Reds and the Benfica forward is their number one transfer target as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster his forward line. Nunez netted 34 times in all competitions last season, including a goal in each leg of their Champions League quarter-final defeat against Liverpool.
Reports suggest the fee for Nunez will be in the region of £85million which would see him become their record transfer following Virgil van Djik's £76million move from Southampton in January 2018. Manchester United are also said to be interested in the player but it is claimed he would prefer to join the Reds.
