Darwin Nunez is not worried about slow start to Liverpool career, says Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp says Darwin Nunez is showing no signs of worry and the club are completely calm as the summer signing continues to adapt to life at Liverpool.

The 23-year-old arrived from Benfica this year in a deal which could reach £85m, but he has not quite hit the ground running at Anfield.

Klopp insists that it is all just part of the transitional period as the Uruguay international gets used to his new team and life in England and there is nothing to worry about.
