Liverpool fans are convinced Darwin Nunez will score 30+ goals this season after seeing video with Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool fans have predicted big things for Darwin Nunez next season after footage emerged of him speaking perfect English to Jurgen Klopp.

The Reds boss has been public in his wishes for the Uruguayan striker to learn English so that he can communicate with his teammates better.

Speaking ahead of Liverpool's 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest in April, Klopp said of Nunez: “His English is still not great if existing at all, which is not helpful, so we go through a difficult debut season for the whole team which means then for a striker, how can a striker shine if the team is struggling? But we’re working on it [his English].

“This is a long-term project and he desperately wants to play. I understand Darwin is not always fine when he doesn’t start, smiling in my face, but it’s absolutely fine.

However, it seems Nunez has taken on his manager's advice this summer. Thanks to a video shared on the club’s Twitter account, Nunez could be seen greeting the German in perfect English.

Getting up to embrace Klopp, the 24-year-old said, "How are you?", to which Klopp responded, "I'm good you?"

Nunez took no hesitation to reply, "Good good thank you", displaying he had been practicing his English skills during his time off.

Fans were quick to pick up on the improvement, believing it would bring him success on the pitch this season.

One fan replied: "The Premier League is in trouble, but not for us."

Another wrote: "Wow his English getting so good."

A third added: "30 goals this season."

One fan said: "Give him the 9."

A fifth wrote: "The man to watch this season."

Another added: "He is speaking English wowwwww niceeee."

One reply read: "30+ GA this season. Easy."

Despite a topsy-turvy debut campaign in the Premier League, Nunez still managed a respectable 15 goals in 26 starts for the Merseyside club and will hope to add plenty more to that tally this term.
