Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker have both agreed that Darwin Nunez’s slow start to life at the club is partly due to settling into a new country.
Nunez was signed by the Reds this summer for an upfront fee of £64.2millionalongside a further £21.5million in attainable add-ons. Nunez bagged an impressive 34 goals in all competitions for Benfica last season – including in both legs of their European clash against the Reds at the quarter-final stage.
The Uruguayan headed the only goal of the game as the Reds beat West Ham in Wednesday night’s Premier League action – his fourth goal across the Premier League and Champions League this season – to help show Jurgen Klopp’s team what they had been missing in attack.
