Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has showered praise on Darwin Nunez for his performances not just this year but also last season.
“I think Nunez could absolutely become one of Europe’s elite,” he told Squawka.
“He impressed me a lot last year even when he wasn’t scoring, because he was still a threat.”
“You always worry about the strikers that not only aren’t scoring but aren’t affecting the game elsewhere, which you could never say was true of Nunez."
Johnson admitted there are still aspects of his game that need improving but looks promising.
“Of course he does miss chances, but he creates for his teammates, he’s a threat to defenders. He’s a fantastic player and looks the real deal.”
Nunez carried his incredible form into the international break where he scored 3 goals in 2 games.
