Everyone at Liverpool are convinced that Darwin Nunez is an excellent player, and that it is only a matter of time until he gains momentum.

That’s according to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano, reporting in his ‘Daily Briefing’ for CaughtOffside’s Substack.

He claims insiders at the club remain confident in the 23-year-old’s ability to perform at the highest level and to fulfil his potential.

“It’s not been the easiest start at Liverpool for Darwin Nunez, but all the indications I get from both Liverpool and the player’s side are clear: they are convinced it’s just a matter of time,” Romano said.

“He’s happy at Liverpool and Klopp is supporting him. No one has doubts into the club or on player side. I think they will keep protecting Nunez.”

Nunez can excel at Liverpool

Although the Uruguay international has endured a lot of criticism for missing a couple of chances this season, his form in front of goal has actually been quite underrated.

In 22 matches for the Reds this term, Nunez has bagged nine goals and three assists. Having been utilised as a winger, on top of being a striker, the youngster has managed to return a decent number of his chances.

However, rival fans will only be concentrating on one or two bigger misses. They will ignore his incredible pace and brute physicality, and even his ability to run in-behind and create chances through on goal.

For defenders, the 23-year-old is an absolute handful to deal with. He is the type of player Liverpool have been looking for, as he allows the rest of the attack to exploit empty spaces on the wings.

Currently, Nunez isn’t playing with his full confidence. When he gets this down, he will be more than clinical in the final third.

Therefore, it’s easy to see where the club are coming from, in their assessment of the youngster.
