‘He will be top’: James Milner says one Liverpool player has ‘got everything’

 


Speaking on Amazon Prime Sport’s YouTube channel, James Milner has been discussing Darwin Nunez and his potential.

The Uruguayan striker arrived this summer with much fanfare, but after a slow start to life in England, many wondered whether or not he had what it takes to make it in the Premier League.

However, in recent weeks, Nunez has shown exactly what he’s all about, and according to Milner, the young striker has everything it takes to be an absolute star at Anfield.

The midfielder spoke about the Reds’ summer signing.

“He’s got everything to score a lot of goals at Liverpool. He’s come to a new country, he can’t speak too much English yet. He’s a great lad, some of the banter he is having, he’s learning English,” Milner said.

“People underestimate how difficult it is. It’s the same sport, but you’re moving your family, it’s a different language, different food, weather. It’s a big step, but the attributes he has, finishing, both feet, in the air, he works his nuts off. He will be top, no doubt about that.”


Unpolished gem

As Milner says, Nunez does have all of the attributes needed to be a superstar, he just needs to find a way to put everything together on a weekly basis.

He’s one of the fastest and strongest players in the Premier League, while his shot is an absolute rocket when he connects properly.

However, at times, he has lacked that level of composure needed to score goals at this level, but that should come as he matures and grows.

Nunez could well be one of the Premier League’s best players one day, but at the moment, he’s an unpolished diamond.

Liverpool set to make official move for 24-year-old midfielder valued at£39.8m

  Liverpool have reportedly reignited their interest in Matheus Nunes and are weighing up a £44m swoop for the Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder. The Portugal international was heavily linked with a move to Anfield during the summer transfer window, but Jurgen Klopp’s side decided against spending big on a new lynchpin. Still determined to test himself in the Premier League, Nunes became the latest Portuguese player to arrive at Wolves, who paid €45m (£39.8m) to bring the 24-year-old to the club from Sporting Lisbon. Nunes has one assist to show from 14 Premier League games for Julen Lopetegui’s side, and he is under contract at Molineux until 2027 with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. However, Nunes’s efforts have not been able to prevent Wolves’ slide down the table, with Lopetegui’s men sat 19th in the rankings after taking just 13 points from 17 games. Should Wolves drop back down to the Championship, Nunes would not be e...

(Video) Thiago’s three brilliant defensive challenges that demonstrate his Anfield dominance

  Thiago Alcantara had yet another brilliant display for Liverpool and it wasn’t just his usual passing and attacking prowess that was on show but his tackling and defensive abilities too. One video has been created to show three instances when our No.6 won the ball back inside his own half and they were all done with the usual style and class we are used to seeing from the Spain international. It wasn’t the best display from Jurgen Klopp’s squad but the 31-year-old could leave the pitch with his head held high, after helping the Reds secure all three points. Let’s hope his form continues and that we can extend our run of four successive victories in the Premier League. He is immense pic.twitter.com/KdobOK8Feh — - (@PassLikeThiago) December 31, 2022

Bayern Munich eyeing up another Liverpool star – Likely far cheaper than Mané deal

Image
 With a few clubs, including Manchester United, reportedly interested in Eric Choupo-Moting, currently at Bayern Munich, the Bavarian side are preparing for the worst. Having already lost Robert Lewandowski in the summer, the Bundesliga giants have had to rely on the Cameroon international more often than not, but his contract expires in the summer. This has made him attractive for many clubs in January, which is why Bayern Munich are looking at Liverpool for a potential replacement. This is because the Reds have a player in a similar situation as Choupo-Moting in Roberto Firmino, whose contract at Anfield expires in the summer. There have been reports the Brazilian wouldn’t mind extending at Liverpool, but he will take his time to evaluate what his future can bring him. Media Foot in France suggest that could include a transfer back to Germany, where he initially made a name for himself at Hoffenheim. The outlet explain the Liverpool forward ‘is among the profiles studied’ by...
