Liverpool hammered Tottenham at the weekend but striker Darwin Nunez has brought the spotlight on himself once again.

Nunez was left out of the starting XI again by Jurgen Klopp before coming on with around 20 minutes to go.

However, as has been the case on a number of occasions this term, Nunez found himself offside a number of times before missing a golden chance to score in the dying embers of the game.

After the game, Nunez appeared to go down the tunnel pretty sharpish before appearing to then delete a number of photos on his Instagram account over the weekend.

And speaking on Nunez and his actions, former England striker Chris Sutton has suggested the Uruguayan is looking to move on.

Speaking on the It’s All Kicking Off podcast, Sutton believes it could be a sign that Nunez is looking to force his way from the club.

“If somebody does that we assume he wants out or is off somewhere.

He’s certainly brought attention to it and you’ve cottoned on to it,” Sutton said.

“I mean at least years ago when players wanted to leave they didn’t have all this nonsense, they could have all their own thoughts and keep it under wraps.

It just looks like he’s going to be on his way, or he’s deeply unhappy with the club.”

Liverpool paid around £64m to bring Darwin Nunez to the club so the notion he is going to be moved on with no fuss seems odd to digest.

However, there is no way Nunez can have any sort of remorse towards the club or be unhappy about how he’s been treated under Jurgen Klopp.

Nunez has played more than 50 games for the Reds this season including 22 starts in the Premier League alone, so Nunez cannot complain he’s not being given a chance.

Ultimately, he is paid to score goals and while he’s managed 18 throughout the season and another 13 assists, it should have been a lot more.

Quite how Arne Slot will see Nunez next season, remains to be seen but there is something brewing and the club or player need to nip this in the bud quickly.
