Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's delighted with Darwin Nunez's preseason form.
Nunez was again on the scoresheet for today's 4-0 win against Leicester in Singapore.
Klopp said: "I don't think I have to tell our fans, it's pretty much traditionally or historically for us that usually players for us, especially offensive players, [need time].
"Sometimes you need more time, that's how it is. I think the signs Darwin showed already last season were really good. Injuries and the red card were not helpful in the start directly and these things, but it's all good. They all are a threat, they all are good footballers the ticket into the team will be the readiness for defence because you never hear about a team being really successful with sloppy defending, it just will not happen.
"For Darwin [it's] the same like for all the other strikers as well because I know about the quality they have and they need to do both, like our other players have to do both as well defend and being influential in all the offensive situations.
"It's good, you can see he is a handful, the speed and the goal was a typical goalscorer's goal. Being there, smelling it and finishing it off. In training he looks really good. He is fit, that helps, and now two more games and Chelsea."
