Former Liverpool striker Neil Mellor is convinced Darwin Nunez has a big future at Anfield.

The 100m arrival has struggled for consistency since last year's move from Benfica.

But Mellor told the Liverpool Echo: Their attacking options are brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

I think that's it's going to be important for Liverpool, if they are to achieve success this year, that they have everybody fully fit, so they can fire on all fronts.

Nunez, we talk about struggles learning the language, but if he learns the language even better, that will help him.

The fans love him. He's aggressive, he's quick, he's strong, and loves scoring goals. He's everything you want in a centre-forward. He's now doing the defensive side of the game which the manager wants him to do.

All of a sudden he has really improved as a player and he will score goals. I hope he stays injury-free. I look at 20 goals, and I think he is a player that can get over that barrier for Liverpool this season."
