Darwin Nunez is far from a bit-part player at Liverpool, having played more Premier League games than all but seven of his teammates. Despite this, a recent headline suggests he needs to prove himself as the club’s central figure or be allowed to leave, with questions raised over his ability and whether he is worth his £64m price tag. However, Jurgen Klopp has reassured Nunez that he is a long-term project, with assistant Pep Lijnders also praising his progress. Playing mind games with the media, Klopp has dismissed Liverpool’s chances of making the top four, but Nunez’s performance and development will remain a key focus for the team moving forward.
