'He's different to the other boys up there': Milner tips Nunez to have long-term impact at Liverpool

James Milner has shared his thoughts on Darwin Nunez and his impact on the team

"I think he'll have an impact the whole time he's here, to be honest," Milner said.

"Since he's been here, he's [been] impressive on the field, worked hard, makes great runs [and] is desperate to put his head on the ball in the box.

"If you put a ball in there, he'll do everything he can to get on the end of it - good finisher, both feet and he's different to the other boys up there.

"We've already got some very exciting attacking players who can cause problems, so he's a great addition. He'll be fantastic for us.

"You want options up there, you want to cause people problems, you want to have options to play different ways because obviously teams are going to watch us and try to stop us, so it's important we can do everything. With the options we have up there, I think we have a fantastic mix.

"He scored a couple of goals in the last few weeks, so hopefully it continues for him. That's credit to the boys and the people around the club for making people feel comfortable straight away.

"It is a big change for them but it's also the work that is done on the training ground. Obviously getting them to know how we want to play and then feeling comfortable in how we play, so a lot of work goes into that and hopefully it can continue, and Darwin can keep thriving."
