Nat Phillips is excited about the challenge of marking new Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez.

The 25-year-old has linked up with his Liverpool teammates in Asia after spending time on loan at Bournemouth.

Former Benfica striker Nunez became the club’s record signing this summer, and Phillips is looking forward to training against the Uruguay international.

He told the club’s website: “Obviously it’s nice to test yourself against top players and he’s certainly a top player.

“He’s obviously a dangerous player as well so he’ll put me to a good test in training. It’ll be interesting to see how he is.

“It’s exciting for everyone at the club and all the fans to have him come in. He’s still young as well, so he’s certainly an exciting player to come into the club.”
