Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed Liverpool's first-team squad were left excited when rumours of Darwin Nunez making a summer switch to Anfield began to circulate.
Jurgen Klopp's side wrapped up the signing of the Uruguayan forward last month after agreeing a deal that could be worth up to £85million with Benfica. The 23-year-old came in for criticism from rival supporters after his opening two pre-season displays as a Liverpool player, though issued an emphatic response by scoring four goals in a 5-0 victory over RB Leipzig last week.
The Reds will now be hoping such form can be replicated as the new Premier League season approaches and an inevitable title tussle with Manchester City unfolds once again. Liverpool supporters are certainly excited to see just what Nunez can do for the first-team this term, a sentiment that also applies to other members of Klopp's squad.
