Liverpool cannot immediately expect Darwin Nunez to make a flying start at Anfield like Luis Diaz did – but him failing to do so could cost the Reds, Paul Merson has said.
The success Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has enjoyed has come from a host of star players.
Uruguay striker Nunez cost Liverpool an initial £64million.
“Nunez has got to hit the ground running like Diaz and that rarely happens in the Premier League.”
Former Benfica man Nunez – like ex-Porto winger Diaz – starred against Liverpool in the Champions League last season.
