5 Strikers Liverpool Must Sign in the Transfer Window Next Season

Darwin Nunez: Liverpool target

Darwin Nunez is a complete striker

This is a striker that could potentially give Liverpool a new dimension. The 21-year-old Benfica striker from Uruguay is a beautiful blend of physically old school strikers with modern characteristics. The 6’1” tall frame and hefty build gives him a daunting presence in front of goal.

Playing in a side that focuses heavily on its defensive performance, Darwin Nunez has shown a tremendous work rate and has been the protagonist of many counter-attacks Benfica have triggered and benefitted from.

Nunez makes the most of his blitz strides and like a true goal poacher, he makes sure he is at the finishing end of the move as well. His dribbling, pace and work-rate are undoubtedly the best assets of his game and coupled with quick decision making, he has the ability to split defenses with his through balls and crosses.

Darwin Nunez has traits of Edinson Cavani’s style to his game. If he can improve on his offside awareness, the young Uruguayan can add to his 21 G/A tally before the season ends. Darwin Nunez promises to be one of the superstars in the making with a cheaper price tag and ticks all the boxes of Liverpool’s signing strategy, both on and off the field.
