The former agent of Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez believes he can shine again.

The Uruguayan is enduring a tough season at the Anfield club, missing many chances in games that resulted in the team dropping points.

As they find themselves adrift of the top two in third place, Edgardo Lasalvia, who was Nunez's representative in the past, spoke about his former client.

"Darwin is one of the best current strikers in the world, I don't work with him anymore but I love him very much," Lasalvia told Winwin.com.

"We have overcome many challenges and difficulties together, including two knee operations. Thanks to our support and great love, and with his will and that of his family, he was able to overcome it.

"I would like him to believe in himself again and remember everything he went through to get to his current place, and to rely on the people who really love him with or without success, with or without money, because he will succeed again in life and become the best striker in the world.

"Why did he miss easy chances? Footballers are human beings and these are just periods in their careers, they must be supported. Nunez can be a goalscorer wherever he plays, I hope it happens the best for the Liverpool team and its fans and the best for Darwin and his family."
