He caused a lot of problems for us as a team. Very direct, quick and strong. I was sad that Sadio (Mane) left us (for Bayern Munich), but we knew it was coming." He added: "He felt that it was time to move on and get a new challenge. We all respected that. The club reacted by getting Darwin in.

He scored 34 goals in total in 41 appearances in all competitions for Benfica last season.

Very direct quick and strong - Virgil van Dijk names Liverpool player who has impressed him
Virgil van Dijk impressed with Liverpool's new striker Darwin Nunez defender Virgil van Dijk believes new signing Darwin Nunez could be a good signing for the Reds. He shared the problems he caused them last season in the Champions League and hopes he excels at Anfield.

While he has featured in both their matches in pre-season, he is yet to find the back of the net. However, van Dijk isn't bothered by this, as he told The Athletic (via ): “We saw how good Darwin is when we played against Benfica last season.
