Boasting 15 goals from his first season in English football, Liverpool fans will be in agreement that Darwin Nunez has had a promising start at Anfield.

Despite criticism from rival fans, the Uruguayan has emerged as a firm fan-favourite since joining from Benfica for an initial £64m last summer. Although still raw, the 23-year-old’s goal return is respectable with confidence that there is plenty more to come.
