Once Darwin Nunes discovers his lethal touch, he will begin to justify his exorbitant price tag, even if he doesn’t put up the numbers that Erling Holland is producing.
Darwin Nunes has always been unfairly compared to Erling Haaland.
The two clubs are fighting for the Premier League title again in 2021/22 and the question is who will sign the striker who can make the difference next season.
Of course, City have indeed signed the finished article in Haaland, although he is younger than Nunes, who joined Liverpool from Benfica.
There’s a reason why the two-goal gap widened as Manchester City took the treble last season. But it was the same until this season.
Núñez has scored seven goals for his club (four in the Premier League), while Haaland has scored 18 goals, including 14 in the league. Comparing the two is still not fair.
They are different strikers in different roles, playing different styles at different clubs.But now Nunez has to make his own way in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp rightly praised the Uruguayan striker earlier this month and fears just how good he could be.
There was a story about how Nunes was able to take Mies without putting his head down. How many goals can Darwin Nunes score in one season?
