Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's excited to be working with Darwin Nunez.
Former Benfica striker Nunez sealed a move to Anfield in June after Liverpool paid an initial fee of £64million up front.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com about the No.27, Klopp said: "It was massively impressive when he played in front of us [in the Champions League].
"When you prepare Benfica, you know up to the size of shoes - we know absolutely everything about an opponent, so we know exactly about the quality of Darwin.
"It was not clear if he would play because he came back from internationals, in the first game that was. It was clear that he was really good. But when you see it then live, it was really impressive.
"The power and the mix-up with technique, the desire, smart moves, the problems he caused us. We fell all in love in these two games. A very aggressive South American, it's a good thing!
"It was really a joy to watch him and so when we realised we had a good chance to sign him, we were all-in and we're really happy he's here now."
