Evan Ferguson has been building his ultimate striker made up of a number of different attributes.
We’ve seen many former professionals undertake this challenge in recent times, and usually the same sort of selections are made.
Indeed, your stock answers are to pick Kylian Mbappe’s speed, Didier Drogba’s strength and Harry Kane’s finishing.
However, speaking to ESPN, Evan Ferguson made some rather interesting suggestions when taking part in this challenge.
Evan Ferguson’s ultimate striker includes Liverpool star
Interestingly, Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez got two shoutouts from Ferguson during this game.
Ferguson says that the Uruguayan has the best movement of any striker he’s seen, while he says that he also has the greatest workrate too.
“Movement?” Ferguson was asked.
“Nunez,” Ferguson said.
Nunez was then asked about a number of other attributes before circling back round to work rate where he picked Nunez again.
“Work rate?”
“Nunez again,” Ferguson said.
Darwin Nunez has incredible attributes
Darwin Nunez may not be the best striker in Premier League history, but he has some of the best attributes of any striker in the history of this league.
As Ferguson says, it’s difficult to think of any centre-forward who has such unique movement, while Nunez’s workrate is also second to none.
If he could just polish up his finishing, we’d be looking at one of the very best strikers on the planet right now.
Unfortunately, the reality is that Nunez is far from the finished article, but with that being said, he does have plenty of time on his side, and who knows? Perhaps next season under a new manager he could refine his game and become more deadly in front of goal.
The £70m man is certainly a one of a kind player, and he’s more than played his part in Liverpool’s ascension to the top of the Premier League this season.
