Pundit believes Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez may initially struggle at the start of upcoming season

Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor believes that Darwin Nunez will eventually be a success at Anfield. However, he stated that it may take the South American a couple of months to adapt to Jurgen Klopp's methods. Nunez has some big boots to fill this season at Liverpool following the departure of Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich. Speaking to , Agbonlahor claimed: “I can imagine Nunez might struggle in the first part of the season. But when he’s up to speed, he’ll score goals, there’s no doubt. When you’ve got Robertson, when you’ve Thiago, when you’ve got Trent Alexander-Arnold, you’ll get chances. You might miss a few, but you’ll definitely score a few. I think he’ll have no problem scoring goals, he’s proved he’s a natural finisher." He added: "But a lot of strikers come into the Premier League and it can take time to get used to it. If he has two months struggling to find the net and some poor performances then I’m sure nobody will panic and he’ll get the time he deserves.”Thanks for the support! Thanks for the support!
