Ecstatic Liverpool fans compare Darwin Nunez to a 'prime Fernando Torres' with his 'unorthodox' style, 'positioning and vision' mimicking the club's former No 9 after his four-goal haul in their friendly win over RB Leipzig

Liverpool fans have compared new signing Darwin Nunez to 'prime Fernando Torres' after the Uruguayan bagged scored four goals against RB Leipzig.

After struggling in pre-season games against Manchester United and Crystal Palace, the club-record signing has opened his account for the Merseyside club in spectacular fashion.

Despite a difficult start, the 23-year-old's 45 minute cameo at the Red Bull Arena was enough to convince Reds fans on social media that he 'gives off Torres vibes', following the 5-0 victory.
