Milner on Nunez: 'He can have an impact for a long time'

James Milner believes Liverpool could be feeling the impact of Darwin Nunez's summer arrival on Merseyside for a long time.

The Reds added the Uruguay international to Jürgen Klopp's forward armoury in June, completing a transfer from Portuguese outfit SL Benfica.

Nunez made his presence felt immediately during his competitive debut for the club, stepping off the bench to score the third goal in a 3-1 victory over Manchester City in the FA Community Shield.

The No.27 followed up by finding the back of the net in his first Premier League outing last weekend – again as a second-half substitute – in a 2-2 draw against Fulham in the season-opener at Craven Cottage.
