Liverpool boss Klopp: Darwin Nunez has big career ahead of him

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's a fan of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez.

The Reds host Benfica for the second-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tomorrow night defending a 3-1 lead.

Klopp said of Nunez: "Extremely good-looking boy and a decent player as well!

"Really good, really good, I have to say. I knew him before, of course, but he played pretty much in front of me with these tough battles with Ibou Konate. Physically strong, quick, was calm around his finish when he finished the goal off.

"Good, really good. Obviously how you say in these situations, if he stays healthy, it's a big career ahead of him."
