Darwin Nunez sent Liverpool demand amid Uruguay claim after World Cup disappointment

Darwin Nunez has been told that he can become Uruguay's number nine for 'many years to come', but must learn to relax first.

That's the view of former Chelsea and Tottenham star Gus Poyet, who believes that his compatriot simply needs to relax more and play his own game.

Nunez led the line for Uruguay at the World Cup in Qatar but failed to score any goals as the South Americans were eliminated from the tournament at the group stage. But Poyet, who earned 26 caps for his country, scoring three times, still has total faith in the Liverpool striker to become a world-beater and wants to see him kick on now with his Anfield career.
