Darwin Nunez claim made as former Liverpool midfielder makes Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres comparison

Jamie Redknapp believes there is a 'lot more to come' from Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez after he made the switch from Benfica to the Premier League in the summer transfer window.

Nunez could end up costing Liverpool a club-record £85 million and has shown glimpses of the chaos and talent he can bring to Jurgen Klopp 's side.

The Uruguayan came in for criticism for his start to life at Liverpool, but now has seven goals in his 15 appearances for the Reds as he settles into the Premier League.
