Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has divided opinion among Liverpool fans ever since his £64m arrival from Benfica in 2022.

The Uruguayan has shown flashes of quality but has ultimately proved a frustrating figure during his time at the Merseyside club.

Slot said: “I wasn’t only hard on him. But for the second time in a row I wasn’t happy with his work effort against Wolves and against Villa.
