Jürgen Klopp: Nunez has all the pieces we want – now we’ll nurture that talent

Jürgen Klopp is thrilled by the opportunity to nurture Darwin Nunez’s talents, which he already considers to be ideally suited to Liverpool FC.

Uruguay forward Nunez has signed a long-term contract with the Reds to join from Benfica, where he scored 34 goals last season, subject to international clearance and the granting of a work permit.

Reacting to the capture of the club’s new No.27, the manager detailed the physical and mental attributes that made Nunez a compelling recruit.

And Klopp cannot wait to begin working with the attacker and further honing those qualities to ensure they can blossom during his time at Anfield.
