Liverpool boss Arne Slot has revealed how he plans to improve Darwin Nunez’s goalscoring fortunes this season. The Uruguayan arrived at Anfield from Benfica in a deal worth up to £85million in June 2022.

Liverpool saw three bids rejected for Lavia, privately believing the then-teenager to not be worth their asking-price, before switching attention to Caicedo themselves. But despite agreeing an £111m deal with Brighton after the player suggested he…
