Darwin Nunez can win over the Liverpool fans like Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane by hitting the ground running, according to Stewart Downing.
Nunez became Liverpool ’s record signing when he joined the club from Benfica on June 14. The Reds agreed to pay an initial fee of £64million for the Uruguayan striker, but it will quickly rise to £75m based on appearances, while Benfica could also receive a further £10m based on trophy success, meaning he will overtake Virgil van Dijk as Liverpool’s most expensive signing.
That price tag comes with some pressure, especially following Sadio Mane’s £35m departure to Bayern Munich, but Nunez has the reputation to cope with it. The 23-year-old netted 48 goals across 85 appearances in all competitions for Benfica and looks a good fit for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
