Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez has been told exactly what the requirements are for him to get into Arne Slot's side ahead of Diogo Jota, who is the current first pick.

Speaking ahead of Bournemouth's visit to Merseyside, Slot was asked about the former Benfica striker and what he has to do to force his way back into the starting line-up. The ex-Feyenoord coach stated that Nunez had to work really hard to regain his place and suggested that the 25-year-old take inspiration from one of his teammates:

Arne Slot says Darwin Nunez will get his chance in the Liverpool starting XI providing he keeps ‘working really hard’. Nunez has blown hot and cold since moving to Anfield from Benfica in 2022 in a deal that has so far cost the club £71million and could yet rise to £85m.
