Liverpool FC News: Reds discover PERFECT Darwin Nunez replacement

Patience is wearing thin for Darwin Nunez at Liverpool.

There's a lot to admire about the Uruguayan striker. He's a sympathetic character who is endearing in his own way.

However, he is also an incredibly frustrating footballer. At his best, Nunez is simply unplayable and he can dominate some of the best defences in world football.

But at his worst, he is a forward who lacks composure and commits far too many errors due to his indecision on the pitch.

Unfortunately, Liverpool fans have seen him more at his worst than at his best during his last two years at the club.

That's why Nunez is currently looking like a disposable part of Arne Slot's project.

How Jayden Danns can replace Darwin Nunez

Already this season we have seen Slot preferring to use Luis Diaz in the no.9 role rather than playing Nunez in the position.

That means when everyone is fit Nunez is probably third choice for the forward position with Diaz and Diogo Jota ahead of him in the pecking order.

At this stage, if Liverpool could cash in on him now, they probably would. It's difficult to see how much of a long-term future Nunez has left at the club.

That's why Liverpool should focus on Jayden Danns, who can be his perfect replacement and the absolute antithesis of Nunez.

Admittedly, we have only seen small glimpses of Danns so far. But everything we have seen has been the exact opposite of Nunez.

First of all, Danns has composure and scored two goals against Southampton in the FA Cup last season. He's a huge threat in front of goal and has a very prolific track record at academy level as well.

But more importantly, he is a player oozing with confidence.

Even in his brief cameo against Southampton in the League Cup, Danns showed just how eager he was to impress and just how confident of a player he was.

He was contesting challenges and taking players on, being a lively and productive presence on the pitch. Something that cannot often be said of Nunez.

Danns is the future of Liverpool, which is why Slot should focus on honing the 18-year-old's talent rather than persisting with a piece (albeit very expensive) that simply just doesn't fit into his toolbox.
