Liverpool have officially announced the signing of Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez from Benfica

Darwin Nunez is officially a Liverpool player

Nunez signed a six-year contract with the Reds on Tuesday evening following an agreement of a €75million-plus transfer fee with Benfica.

The 22-year-old is already confident he can become a better player working under Jurgen Klopp and is relishing the prospect of playing alongside the "monsters" of the Liverpool forward line.

Asked about his new club, Nunez said: "I'm really happy and delighted to be here at Liverpool. It's a massive club. I've played against Liverpool and I've seen them in lots of games in the Champions League, and it's my style of play. There are some great players here and I think it’s going to suit my style of play here.

"It's great for any player that a manager can improve and polish you as a player, and I think that Klopp is going to help me hugely. I think the players themselves - like Firmino and the other experienced players - are going to help me greatly too. It will be great that Klopp can show me lots more things.

"There are some top, top players here with great qualities. There is Firmino, who's a great player, and then Jota, who is another great striker. Luis Diaz, Salah. To play alongside these 'monsters' is going to be something really special for me, because as a kid you dream of going far and I dreamt of being able to play in Europe, but I didn't expect to get as far as a great club like Liverpool.

"There'll be a lot of competition between the forwards here, but it will be healthy competition. I'm still only 22 and I've got lots that I can still learn, and this is a brand new experience for me."
