Johnson believes another Liverpool star should also be seen as a contender for the PFA Player of the Year prize.

The former England international has put forward Darwin Nunez as his surprise pick following an impressive second season at the club.

‘I’d probably go with a surprise, someone like Darwin Nunez,’ Johnson told Squawka.

‘People were saying that he doesn’t score enough goals, but when you think about the way that he plays, he’s probably the last person that you want to play against in the Premier League and that’s saying something with the other players that are available.

‘Yeah I’d probably go with someone like Nunez because he’d probably be the first striker, other than Haaland, that I’d want in my team.’

The Uruguayan has scored 18 goals in 45 matches in all competitions this season, with the 24-year-old playing a vital role after a mixed debut campaign.
