The Uruguayan is waking up

After his signing with the Reds Darwin Nunez generated a lot of doubts, because although he came from being a great scorer in Portugal where, according to Transfermarkt, the Uruguayan scored a total of 48 goals and gave 16 assists in a total of 85 games, numbers that made him the target of many big teams in Europe, being a player with great potential. And it was Liverpool who acquired his services paying €80 million, which generated great speculation, however, and despite having scored 14 goals in his first tournament with the Reds, the same amount as Luis Suarez, a better level was expected, increasing the internal competition in the team, where both Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo were looking for the striker's place.

 

So this season seems to be the decisive one in the fight for Roberto Firmino's replacement, and Darwin Núñez is looking better and better, both in matches with the Reds and with the Uruguay national team, where he is already a reference in the attack of the Charrúas, which has benefited him as he is playing better and better.

 

Although Mohamed Salah has been the top scorer so far this season, Darwin Núñez is the team's second top scorer, as well as the second in the assists, and he is becoming more and more confident on the pitch, which is reflected in his level, where he is much faster and his adaptation seems to be getting better and better.

 

<strong>Nunez in better shape than Haaland</strong>

Although Erling Haaland is the scorer in the Premier League with nine goals and one assist, Darwin Núñez seems to be going through a better moment, since according to information from @LiverpoolLatam, the Uruguayan has the best average in the Premier League in assists and goals with 1.44 per 90 minutes, while Erling Haaland is in fifth place with 1.14, so the charrúa is having better numbers than the Norwegian in the Premier League, demonstrating that his quality is increasing for Núñez.
