While Gakpo remains off the scoresheet, what Nunez does to score against Wolverhampton

During a lengthy interview with Sky Sports, Uruguay's Darwin Nunez has admitted that he has not yet completed the process of adapting to Liverpool. However, the player is confident that his explosion is just a matter of time.

Recruited last summer for no less than €80m, Uruguay's Darwin Núñez has yet to match the excellent form he showed during his last season at Benfica. So far, the striker has scored 10 goals in 25 official games, but only five of those have come in Premier League matches.

Questioned by Sky Sports, the player admitted that he is finding it difficult to acclimatise to the competitive English league. "It's a big change. Here the league is stronger, more competitive. I didn't expect it to be so strong. Nico Otamendi (former Manchester City defender and team-mate of his at Benfica) told me that, but I still didn't expect it. I was very impressed. There are no bad teams. They are all in this league for a reason. The football is more difficult than in Portugal and more competitive. You don't have much time to adapt," he explained before adding: "Adapting is important, and not only here at the club. Things have to be fine on the football side, but also with your family, because if your family is fine, then you will always be fine. My family and I are fine.

<strong>Nunez does not speak English</strong>

One of the factors that undoubtedly justifies his slow adaptation is his still unfamiliarity with the language, a handicap he is already trying to overcome. "I think that after those first few months of adaptation, things started to improve. I feel at home. I feel happy. When I arrive, I really want to train because, luckily, I have people here who speak Spanish. They have supported me very well and they still support me today (...) My Spanish-speaking teammates are always translating because I still don't understand a lot of things. But be careful, because I am taking English classes. I hope that in a year and a half, at least, I will be able to understand everything," he admitted.
