Thierry Henry has heaped praise on Darwin Nunez after his goalscoring cameo against Napoli in the Champions League - likening the Liverpool forward to Alexis Sanchez and Luis Suarez.
After starting three of the last four games, Nunez was named as a substitute for the Reds' Group A finale against the Serie A leaders. And even despite being introduced with 73 minutes gone at Anfield, the Uruguayan proved to be too much of a handful for Napoli as he forced a defensive error from Alex Meret for Mohamed Salah to open the scoring before adding a stoppage-time strike to his impressive early-season tally and seal a 2-0 win for Jurgen Klopp's side.
Having arrived on Merseyside for a £64m fee from Benfica during the summer, life hasn't been straightforward for the 23-year-old Nunez, who was sent off on his maiden Anfield appearance for Liverpool. Additionally, struggles with confidence inside Klopp's squad, which has seen the Reds win just four of their opening 12 Premier League games, has impacted Nunez's ability to make a seamless transition to life in England.
