Liverpool star Darwin Nunez has labelled iconic Uruguay forward Luis Suarez as his idol in an emotional admission.
He followed in the footsteps of El Pistolero when he completed his move from SL Benfica in the summer of 2022. Suarez enjoyed a successful stint at Anfield as he netted 82 goals in 133 appearances before signing for Barcelona. His time in Catalonia was equally fruitful as he fired home 195 times in 283 outings forming a fierce partnership with Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Nunez's debut season on Merseyside was a rollercoaster as he was shown a straight red card in his first showing at Anfield after an altercation with Crystal Palace's Joachim Andersen. The 23-year-old proved a handful for the Reds as he scored 15 goals in his first campaign in the Premier League.
