Liverpool midfielder Thiago has taken a leading role in helping Darwin Nunez adapt to the club.

Nunez, who joined from Benfica this summer for a club record fee, scored four goals in a friendly win over RB Leipzig last week.

"You start to know a new lad coming in our team. You always want that he is happy in the team, happy with us, happy and confident with himself," Thiago told the club's website at the ongoing training camp in Austria.

"I think he turned over this first adaptation with these four goals and it's important for him and important for us.

"At one point in our life we were the young guy in the team and someone helped us. So you use that experience to help the young players that come.

"Because of the language I try to help him as much as I can and make him part of our sessions and our team."
