Peter Crouch claims he drew comparisons between himself and Darwin Nunez after the Uruguayan struggled to sparkle after his £85million move to Liverpool last summer - but believes the forward now looks like a new signing.

Nunez arrived from Benfica with high expectations last year but found it difficult to catch the eye and scored just nine goals in the league - while Man City's new addition Erling Haaland made headlines for breaking numerous goalscoring records.

But now he looks to have turned a page after a positive start to the season that has seen him score twice and provide one assist already.
