Liverpool: Tsimikas praises 'goal machine' Nunez after West Ham display

The Uruguayan striker is slowly regaining his best form at Liverpool.

Kostas Tsimikas has backed Darwin Nunez to continue his ‘important’ role at Liverpool by regaining his confidence.

Nunez found a rocky start to his Liverpool career after joining the Reds from Benfica this summer.

However, the Uruguayan has slowly reclaimed his spot in Liverpool’s lineup in their recent games. A 1-0 win over West Ham saw Nunez score his third Premier League goal for the Reds.

Tsimikas, who provided the assist for Nunez’s match-winner, says his teammate is on his way to becoming a crucial player for Liverpool.

“He’s always there,” Tsimikas told Liverpool’s official website. “He can score with the left, with the right, with the head – he’s a goal machine.

“He needs confidence, [which] is coming, and I hope for him all the best [to] score more and more goals to help the team, to give us more wins. For us, he is a very, very important player.”

Asked about Nunez’s goal against West Ham, he added: “It’s a very good moment for me. Especially because it was a cross for Darwin, because I wanted to assist him.

“I’m very, very happy for him because I know he wanted to score also. Obviously he would [want] to score more goals but hopefully he keeps his energy and his goals for the next games.”
