Darwin Nunez: Liverpool transfer flop, or a £64m work in progress?

How to describe Darwin Nunez’s first season as a Liverpool player, then? Perhaps 'mixed' would be the best way, although plenty outside of Anfield would opt for something a little less kind.

Certainly, the Uruguayan has had his moments on Merseyside. With 15 goals in all competitions, including strikes against Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle, Napoli and Real Madrid, Nunez has undoubtedly shown promise. He has certainly done enough to earn the love and support of the Reds fans, who chant his name enthusiastically each week, willing him to succeed.

Whether he will do so, however, is another matter, and though you’d be a fool to write off the 23-year-old, or indeed any player, after just 11 months at a new club in a new country, it is fair to say that, as a Liverpool player, the jury is still very much out on Nunez.
