Jurgen Klopp defends Darwin Nunez's slow start to life at Liverpool after his £85m summer move... before hailing the striker's turnaround that's seen him score in his last four starts for the Reds

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is 'excited' at the potential of £85million Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez as he settles into English football.

Nunez scored his sixth goal for the club in Wednesday night's 3-0 Champions League win away to Ajax, having also scored the winner against West Ham in his last Premier League outing.

Doubts were raised over his temperament after he was sent off for head-butting Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen in just his third game for Liverpool.
