Darwin Nunez has already set Anfield alight in his blossoming career, but should he sign for Liverpool this summer - as expected - he will be joining forces with a player who left him 'dumbfounded' last season.
The Benfica striker has just completed a brilliant season in Portugal, scoring 32 times in 38 appearances for the Eagles, leaving him as one of the most sought-after goal-getters in Europe. But as talks continue between the two clubs, he is already well acquainted with his prospect employers, having come up against the Reds in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Despite Liverpool winning the aggregate tie 6-4, Nunez did his reputation no harm by scoring in both legs. After surviving a VAR-check, his 82nd-minute finish at Anfield in the second leg gave the visitors a ray of hope with the score a 3-3 on the night. And just moments later, Nunez came close to reducing the aggregate deficit to just a single goal with a stunning first time volley.
