Darwin Nunez will break through and score more goals for Liverpool, according to Sergio Aguero.

Nunez has had two decent campaigns for the Reds since joining from Benfica in 2022, but the Uruguayan hasn't come close to the production he had in Portugal since arriving at Anfield. Nunez scored 34 goals across all competitions in his final campaign for Benfica, which is more than his first two seasons at Liverpool combined.

However, Aguero feels that the 25-year-old could be due for a big campaign as long as he remains consistent throughout the entire season.

"Credit where credit's due - I do," Aguero told Stake.com when asked if he could see Nunez having a good season in 2024-25. 

"He's a dangerous player that's always prowling the goalposts. Each season, he refines his game... and as long as he doesn't let the anxiety of a dry spell get to him, Darwin will be a prolific goal scorer in due time. Darwin needs time to solidify, and sooner or later, he'll get there."
