Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler on Darwin Núñez: 'The type of player I wanted to see Liverpool have for a number of years'

The former Liverpool striker spoke to Betting Expert ahead of the Bookmaker Awards in Amsterdam and reviewed some of the principal signings of the Premier League ahead of the upcoming season. 

Robbie Fowler knows a thing or two about scoring goals in the Premier League, scoring 199 goals for Liverpool, 14 for Leeds United, and 28 for Manchester City, among others. In the 1990’s Fowler was one of the league’s top scorers and cult legends.

Now the former Liverpool great spoke with Betting Expert about the club’s big signing Darwin Núñez and how he compares to Manchester City’s signing Erling Haaland. Fowler also spoke about the exit of club hero Sadio Mané.

Below are the former England international’s comments on his beloved Liverpool and what comes next for Jürgen Klopp's side ahead of the new European season.

“(Núñez) is the type of player I wanted to see Liverpool have for a number of years… Everybody knows I am a striker. I think my love for the game is up there with my love for the players in my position. “Liverpool has had great players and great strikers over the years. You look at (Sadio) Mané and (Mohamed) Salah. Players who can change games. I think Darwin Nunez is that type of player, who can change a game. He can maybe pull a nil-nil into a one-nil in your favor.”

When comparing the new Uruguayan striker to Manchester City’s big catch Erling Haaland, Fowler stated: “I know Manchester City is thinking exactly the same thing with (Erling) Haaland. From a Liverpool point of view, they have gone out there to spend money. They’ve lost a player, Mané, which is disappointing. They got money for him, so they’ve received more money than they’ve spent five-six years ago. Probably good business for the club.”
