The Cameroon International shared his relief that he’s now on the same team as Nunez.

According to him, the Liverpool summer signing gave him a torrid time in the Champions League last season.

“He made my life quite hard,” Matip said, according to TalkSport . “So I’m really happy that he’s wearing our shirt.

“A lot of quality and I’m looking forward to seeing him scoring goals for us.

“I think it’s a different kind of speciality – physically, speed. And he will score goals, I’m absolutely sure.

“He will just give us an extra power player to really go for everything.”

Darwin, a Uruguay International, joined Liverpool from Benfica this summer as a replacement for Senegalese forward Sadio Mane, who moved to Germany to Bayern Munich.

Nunez remains the only major signing made by Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool bosses, who will be aiming to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title this season.
