Lucas Leiva has tipped Darwin Nunez to build on an encouraging first season at Liverpool after learning all about the striker through Luis Suarez.
Nunez scored 15 goals in all competitions during his maiden season at Anfield following an initial £64m switch from Benfica 12 months ago and he described Suarez as "an idol" earlier this month after becoming close with him on Uruguay duty.
Suarez, who spent three-and-a-half-years as Lucas's team-mate at Liverpool, played up top with Nunez at the World Cup back in December and has followed his compatriot's career closely since he made his professional debut for Penarol in his homeland six years ago.
