Darwin Nunez looks set to leave Liverpool this summer(Image: Etsuo Hara/Getty Images)

Darwin Nunez has been told he could score between 20 and 30 goals if he leaves Liverpool and signs for another Premier League club this summer.

The 26-year-old is expected to leave Anfield before the window closes on September 1 as he continues to be linked with moves to Serie A and the Saudi Pro League.

Since signing from Benfica in June 2022 in a deal worth a potential £85 million, Nunez has struggled to live up to the billing as the second most expensive player in Liverpool's history.

The Uruguay international spent last season on the fringes and made just one Premier League start in 2025 as the Reds claimed a second English title in five years.

Now, as Nunez continues to be linked with moves away from Merseyside, former England forward Chris Waddle believes the forward could be a hit at his former club, Tottenham Hotspur.

Speaking to Flashscore about what the future could have in store for the Uruguayan after three difficult seasons at Anfield, Waddle said: “Darwin Nunez is a big guy, he’s powerful, quite pacey.

He's got all the attributes you need.

"The problem he's had in England is that he can't put the ball in the net and that's what he was bought for.

“So whoever takes him, there is a striker in there, don't worry, there is.

He could go on to score loads and everyone will say we always thought this would happen eventually wherever he's going to go.

“Unfortunately, he hasn't done it in Liverpool this year.

I think Andy Carroll many years ago went to Liverpool for a lot of money and didn't perform, but yet went on to West Ham and did well.

“For Nunez, if he wants to go to Tottenham or somewhere like that, he does need to get away from Liverpool, the problem you get is whoever signs him is that supporters are going to say, why have we signed, he never scores, he misses chances.
