BBC MOTD pundit Ian Wright has said that Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez could explode next season.
The Arsenal legend has said on Match of the Day on BBC One (11:12pm, May 6, 2023) that Nunez should have scored a few goals for Liverpool against Brentford at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
While analysing the chances that Nunez missed against the Bees, Wright said that he believes that the striker could get better next season and could explode.
The MOTD pundit added that the striker’s stats for Liverpool this season are “unbelievable”.
The 23-year-old striker has scored nine goals and given three assists in 19 Premier League starts for the Reds this season.
The Uruguay international striker also scored four goals in five UEFA Champions League starts for Jurgen Klopp’s side this campaign.
Against Brentford at Anfield in the Premier League game on Saturday evening, Nunez missed a few good chances, but he worked hard, linked up well with his attacking teammates, and was a problem for the Bees’ defence during his time on the pitch.
Liverpool beat Brentford 1-0 to enhance their chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
Mohamed Salah scored the only goal of the match in the 13th minute.

Wright said about Nunez when asked if he could turnaround next season: “Absolutely, especially when you see the chances that he is getting, the chances he is missing.
“Next season he will liven himself up, get more intense in respects of his goalscoring, and then he will finish those. I am not worried for him.”
The former Arsenal striker added: “Unbelievable numbers.”
