Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira can see why Liverpool shelled out a club-record transfer fee for “complete striker” Darwin Nunez.
Nunez cost Liverpool an initial fee of £64million, that could rise to £85m with add-ons, from Benfica this summer, which would see him eclipse Virgil van Dijk as the most expensive player in the club's history. The 23-year-old forward impressed on his Premier League debut, coming off the bench against Fulham to help Liverpool earn a 2-2 draw at Craven Cottage.
After replacing Roberto Firmino, he was involved in lots of goalmouth action and ended the match with a goal and an assist. The impact means he is in contention to start for the Reds in their match against Palace at Anfield on Monday evening.
