Darwin Nunez's acquisition, according to James Milner, has given Liverpool a “fantastic mix” in their offensive line this year.
Nunez, who joined the Reds from Benfica for £64 million (€75 million), with an additional £21.4 million (€25 million) in potential add-ons, scored in his debut Premier League game for the club this past weekend in a 2-2 draw at Fulham.
The week prior, he scored in the Community Shield victory over Manchester City, winning 3-1.
As Liverpool looks to make Premier League and Champions League challenges once more this season, Nunez joins Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, and fellow new acquisition Fabio Carvalho in the attack.
Milner is excited by what Nunez offers and believes Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has a tantalising group of forward players to choose from.
“I think he’ll have an impact the whole time he’s here, to be honest,” Milner told Liverpool’s official website.
“Since he’s been here, he’s been impressive on the field, worked hard, makes great runs and is desperate to put his head on the ball in the box.
“If you put a ball in there, he’ll do everything he can to get on the end of it – good finisher, both feet and he’s different to the other boys up there.
“We’ve already got some very exciting attacking players who can cause problems, so he’s a great addition. He’ll be fantastic for us.
“You want options up there, you want to cause people problems, and you want to have options to play different ways because obviously teams are going to watch us and try to stop us, so it’s important we can do everything.
“With the options we have up there, I think we have a fantastic mix.”
Liverpool are next in action on Monday when Crystal Palace visit Anfield in the Premier League.
