Andy Robertson reckons Darwin Nunez has the “anger” of an elite-level goalscorer.
And while the Liverpool defender dismissed the almost universal urge to compare his team-mate to Erling Haaland as “unfair”, he argued that Nunez will hit similar heights, when he acclimatises to the Premier League.
The Reds’ £85m record signing scored a fourth goal in his last four starts against Ajax, to help ease the Anfield club through the Champions League group stage, and into the hat for the knockout draw with a game to spare. As he finds his feet in English football, the Uruguayan forward is starting to excite Liverpool fans with his extravagant ‘box office’ qualities, and Robertson agrees.
