Liverpool have been told that two players will be “licking their lips” over the prospect of playing alongside Darwin Nunez.
The Reds completed a deal worth up to £85million with Benfica for the striker last month. He was handed the No.27 shirt, which was vacated after Divock Origi departed for AC Milan.
Nunez is currently with the Liverpool squad in Thailand for their pre-season tour of the Far East. In one of his first sessions, the 23-year-old appeared to have discomfort in his foot but it was not thought to be anything serious.
