Nunez is relishing the opportunity to play under Jurgen Klopp and with the current crop of Liverpool stars.
He told the club website: "I’m really happy and delighted to be here at Liverpool. It’s a massive club. I’ve played against Liverpool and I’ve seen them in lots of games in the Champions League, and it’s my style of play.
"There are some great players here and I think it’s going to suit my style of play here."
