Virgil van Dijk rates Darwin Nunez for his impressive start to the season.
The Uruguayan striker had a slow start to the Premier League season since his £85million move to Liverpool this summer.
The 23-year-old forward scored twice in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Southampton this weekend.
He has now scored seven goals in his last ten games in all competitions.
“We never doubted his quality but obviously, when you have price tag like that and the goals are not flowing like you want, it’s good (he has shown character) and I think he’s done very well,” said the Liverpool captain.
“Obviously he has all the qualities for a modern-day striker.
“There is a reason why we bought him and he’s maturing, he’s stayed patient, kept his head down and played and that’s a credit to him and hopefully he can keeps scoring and stay important for the group.
“It is a new team, new environment, new country, new language so it is absolutely normal for him to take a little bit more time (to settle in) but there is no doubt the qualities are there and the goals will follow.”
